Seanad debates

Election of Cathaoirleach.
I advocate a widening of the franchise and the removal of the political votes from the Dáil, Seanad and local authorities. A wider franchise would ensure that those elected would represent the interests they purport to represent, rather than political interests. I suggest the abolition of the custom of Taoiseach's nominees to this House.
