Seanad debates

Sub-committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion (Resumed).

 

Perhaps we should refine our electoral system, but let us not get rid of our local government electoral college. Local authority members are a first class electorate. They have never failed to elect good people to the Seanad. We might, however, look at the system of nomination of candidates by nominating bodies. I do not have sufficient knowledge of this aspect of our electoral system, but would welcome an open discussion on it.
