The implication of this section, as it stands, is that the commission can get sufficient advice on the way Seanad Éireann works as an autonomous House without having the senior civil servant from Seanad Éireann on it to give that advice. That is both wrong and offensive to this House. What is even more offensive is the weakness of the Minister's defence. What happened was that somebody decided it was not necessary for Seanad Éireann to have equal representation on this commission and then, perhaps having forgotten, decided to dig up a post hoc rationalisation for it. Whatever the reason, it does not have any merit.
