Seanad debates
Wednesday, 9 October 2002
Sub-Committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion.
It is a special feature of this House that, although Members are divided, in the main, into party groupings, there is a less confrontational approach. There is no argument against extending the franchise in the university sector. Equally, there is no argument against widening the franchise to those who are not university graduates or Members of the Dáil or Seanad or members of local authorities. That should be taken on board in moving forward and looking at a different form of election in which the people would have an involvement and the House a greater relevance.
