Seanad debates
Thursday, 24 October 2002
Sub-committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion (Resumed).
We should investigate the matter and be open enough to engage with those who have greater experience than ourselves, such as professional people who may have suggestions about meaningful reform. We should bring them in and listen to them. If there are critical things that must be said about the present situation, they should be taken on the cheek to help bring in worthwhile reform. Many suggestions will also come internally from the staff in the Seanad. The professional staff here are second to none and they have valuable experience gained from looking, listening and regulating debate from one end of the year to the other. They have important suggestions to make with regard to reform and improvement.
