Seanad debates

Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.
As Senator Dardis said, the Seanad should be more actively involved in European affairs. This issue should be discussed during the debate on the reform of the Seanad. Members spoke on the Order of Business about stress. Given the number of sitting days in the year, we certainly will not be stressed in either the Dáil or Seanad. This matter should be addressed. I do not believe the public are aware of the time we spend here. We should devote more attention to debating issues such as Europe. This should be included in Seanad reform. We also need Oireachtas reform in this regard.
