The extension of the franchise to graduates who have moved abroad should also be examined. While the economy has performed well in recent years, during the 1980s the vast majority of graduates emigrated, a significant number of whom have not been fortunate enough to return to Ireland. A friend of mine has resided in London for the past ten years and when I spoke to him during the summer, he considered it unreasonable that he could not vote in Seanad elections. He should have a vote, but he is no longer on the register. He also felt work needed to be done in regard to the register for the University Panel. For example, until this year, my own vote was sent to an address at which I have not resided for more than 20 years.
