In my opinion, it is wrong and elitist and helps to preserve a sort of cadre in society to see university graduates as being above and beyond and more important and special than other members of the population. It is open to any Member to state blithely – they are in a position to do so because they know they will not be affected – that the vote should be extended to every third level graduate. However, this merely maintains the environment of exclusivity. Why can people state so easily that the vote should be given to people who have graduated from a third level college or university, but that it should not be given to anyone else? The case must be made that there are people in every walk of life who may not have attended university but who should have an input into what we are doing in this House. I ask Members to give serious consideration to this matter. I would like to see the Seanad electoral process develop in the way I have outlined.
