It should be viewed in the context of our discussions on Seanad reform, as Senator O'Rourke has pointed out, and the desired wish of long-standing Members of this House in particular, as well as new Members, that we should be held in the highest possible regard. We are basically legislating to give ourselves second class status. This is intolerable. I call on the Minister to take on board in a proactive manner what he has heard. I have not heard a single valid argument against this amendment and I would ask Members on the other side of the House to put their vote where their sentiments are.
