Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

In view of the recent Supreme Court judgment concerning nominations of non-party candidates at Dáil elections, will the Taoiseach agree to a provision in the electoral Bill to include the word "Independent" on the ballot paper so that such candidates are not discriminated against? Many of us feel let down by the political system when we are constantly referred to as "non-party" candidates.
