Seanad debates

Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Second Stage.

 

Many Senators are going to huge expense having an office at home and funding a secretary privately. This is having a severe impact on their financial situation, which is a bit unfair. I hope the Minister of State will consider that suggestion. I back Senator Dardis's suggestion about the use of the funding. The best thing we could do to highlight the Parliament is to promote the Seanad in our home constituencies and make ourselves accessible to the public at all times so that we can raise issues on their behalf.
