Martin Ferris (Kerry North, Sinn Fein)

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for any proposed reform of the Seanad to proceed directly to a system of representation of all citizens in place of any retention of a franchise that is restricted to a minority of the population; and that this be based on selection through representative sectoral and community organisations.
