Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

I remember as an illegal immigrant in the United States when working nights in restaurants, one of the sad joys I had during the day was watching Congressional meetings as the minutiae of US society was investigated. It was a hugely educational and entertaining pastime. Maybe I am a political trainspotter in enjoying it but a significant number of Irish people would relish a similar service. It should be at the top of the agenda on Dáil reform as it would improve the standing of this House and the level of investigation conducted.
