Let us consider the position of Senators Mansergh and Ó Murchú who were elected from the Agricultural and Cultural and Educational panels, respectively. There are two ways to be nominated to those panels, one of which, as in the case of Senator Ó Murchú, is to have one's name put forward by bodies such as Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. I am in favour of this, but there is another way to gain entry to the panel, namely, to be nominated by four Members of this House or the Lower House. There are, therefore, two groups of people who can be nominated to the Cultural and Educational Panel. Why would it not be possible to have those nominated by Members of the Oireachtas elected by members of county councils, as is currently the case? A total of 50% of the Members of the panel would, therefore, be elected by the local authorities and there would be what I term the "distillation" of democracy which could be justified because the other 50% would be elected by properly registered members of the various nominating bodies such as Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. In the case of the Agricultural Panel, people who were not nominated by Oireachtas Members but were put forward by the various nominating bodies would be elected by the registered members of those bodies.
