Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Second Stage.

 

Senator Bradford raised the issue of voter turnout, which is falling, and apathy among voters. This is a worrying trend for all of us and we must ask why. There is a great level of ignorance about this House. People are amazed when they come here, see the magnificent Chamber and listen to the high level of debate. Like the Minister of State, Deputy Parlon, I am a new kid on the block. We have a major job to do in this House to promote the Seanad and explain to the public what we actually do. It has changed a lot for the better in the past few years.
