The Dáil and Seanad are two different places. Some people do not see it like that. From what I can see some people barely recognise the existence of the Seanad. We do not do the same job as the Dáil. The Seanad plays a particular role. We do what is required of the Upper House of the Oireachtas. It is also reflected in the Constitution and there is a very specific linkage between local authority members and Senators. Actively to prevent Senators serving on local authorities is wrong. It undermines and potentially breaks the link already established in the Constitution. I ask the Minister to consider that much harm could be done in breaking that linkage between Senators and members of local authorities. He should not prevent us being members of local authorities.
