I cannot understand the tunnel-visioned idea that there cannot be an employee representative, which is the import of this amendment, and also that there is no place for the Clerk of the Seanad. It is becoming a form of club, an elitist institution which will not have the vox populi represented, despite the likelihood of its doing excellent work. Like Senator Higgins, I do not hold out much hope of having the representatives in question on the commission.
