Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

Will the Government explain to graduates of the University of Limerick, Dublin City University, Dublin Institute of Technology and all other institutes of technology why they, unlike their counterparts in Trinity College Dublin and the colleges of the National University of Ireland, are not entitled to vote in Seanad elections? Given his responsibility for electoral matters, will the Minister ensure this situation is corrected before the next Seanad election in little more than 12 months?
