Shane Ross (Independent)

I thank Senator Quinn for sharing time and congratulate Senators Norris and O'Toole on tabling this motion. It appears the only place there is any real enthusiasm for change is on these benches. I should remind Members that I was first elected to this House in 1981. The first thing I did when elected was table a motion seeking Seanad reform. People shook their heads at me and said, "You are pissing in the wind. This is not going to happen. Seanad reform does not happen."
