The vocational element conceived by Éamon de Valera is gone from this House. It is a highly political body and likely to be even more so in the coming five years. Is that what we want? Do we want the Seanad to be like that, or do we want it to be a body which gives a voice to the vocational bodies it was conceived to represent? Is that just fantasy or was it just camouflage put up to disguise the fact that this is a political body? We only have to look at what is happening outside this House to see how those vocational interests have been usurped or stolen by others. I point particularly at the social partners because we have an Industrial and Commercial Panel represented at the social partnership talks by business and a labour panel represented by the trade unions. We have an Agricultural Panel and whereas we should be providing that platform and voice, we are not doing so. Others have taken that role upon themselves and have made us a totally political body which does not represent those interests. That is something we should tackle in the next five years.
