Niall Ó Brolcháin (Green Party)

I join with other Senators in calling for a debate on reform, not just of our political system but of society as a whole. It will happen whether any of us like it or not. I would prefer not to see bloodied revolutions. I would prefer to see a reasoned debate and a reasoned, quiet reform of our society. People are calling for the abolition of the Seanad, for example, which is a knee-jerk reaction to reform. I would far prefer to see things reformed for the better rather than just thrown away.
