Barry Andrews (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

I thank Senators for their kind words and I acknowledge the role played by my advisers. I was waving the Constitution around because one of my advisers brought to my attention that Article 18.1 states: "Seanad Éireann shall be composed of sixty members, of whom eleven shall be nominated members and forty-nine shall be elected members." I could not help raising that issue.
