Frank Feighan (Fine Gael)

It was very evident in my travels but it has been suppressed over the years.

I am very conscious of the Irish diaspora. If we cannot allow our immigrants to vote in general elections, there should be a forum in which they could be represented. I intend the Seanad to be relevant to all people and will speak on every occasion where I feel it appropriate. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this debate.
