The process of nomination of Senators by the Taoiseach should be reviewed. My father was nominated by the then Taoiseach, Dr. Garret Fitzgerald, in the 1980s. The fact that nominees are generally drawn from the political parties does not do the House any favours. Senator Maurice Hayes and the late former Senator Gordon Wilson are notable exceptions, as their nominations added greatly to the House. There is a danger that political parties will abuse the Taoiseach's privilege of nominating Members by not choosing people of the calibre and reputation of the men I have mentioned.
