Seanad debates
Wednesday, 9 October 2002
Sub-Committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion.
It is often remarked upon that the Seanad is used by aspiring Deputies on their way to the Dáil and retiring Deputies on their way out of the Dáil. That is a reflection of the electoral system and our political culture. Whether it is right or wrong, it is a product of our electoral system and if anything needs to be changed, it is the electoral system. The people do not wish to change the system of proportional representation in multi-seat constituencies.
