The Minister for Finance has a hang-up about giving the option to Senators to have a home office. I realise Senators do not have a constituency, therefore they cannot have a constituency office. In order that the argument cannot be put to me, I will use the word "home office". I am lucky that I live just an hour and a half away from Dublin but some of my colleagues live in Donegal, Cork and other far-flung places. Having an office in Dublin is unrealistic, given that we sit for approximately half a year. Members of the Seanad should be given the option of having an office at home if they wish. It will not cost taxpayers a penny extra and it will free up much needed space in Dublin.
