Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will start with the last question first. Deputy Mathews sat in the same room as me in April 2011 and supported the programme for Government, which included the referendum to abolish the Seanad. I have a fairly good memory. I do not remember him standing up at that meeting to object to it, although I know hindsight is a great thing.
