Willie O'Dea (Limerick City, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I wish to raise two issues. There is no Bill to provide for a referendum to abolish the Seanad in the legislative programme for the spring session, although there is a reference to it in section C. This section deals with Bills for which the heads have not yet been approved by the Government. The heads of the legislation to provide for a referendum to abolish the Seanad, therefore, have not been agreed by the Government.
