Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

Thank you. That elitist institution which is undemocratically elected should obviously be gone. Has the Taoiseach any proposal during his term of office to deal with the proposals in the Constitution regarding the election of President? It is highly undemocratic that citizens may only stand for election as President if they have been vetted by the political establishment or a bunch of politicians.
