In both the previous Seanad and the Seanad before that there were people of great experience such as Professor Joe Lee and Maurice Manning, who researched this question of Seanad reform and did quite a lot of homework on it. All the points I would make have been made already.

That said, I did a lot of thinking on it. There is no fixed answer to this but it is an open debate.
