In seconding the amendment I repeat that this is not a little exercise in vanity by this House but an attempt to insist in legislation on the correct constitutional position. One of the few points Senator Higgins omitted was that the Cathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann was a member of the Presidential Commission and so recognised under the Constitution. I do not understand how it could be for any reason other than deliberate intent to make a statement about Seanad Éireann that a constitutional officer who under the Constitution is one of three people who can function as Head of State of this country could be omitted from having the appropriate status in a commission established to run the Houses of the Oireachtas.
