Mary White (Fianna Fail)

Some of the greatest critics are those who do not remain in the House to hear colleagues speak. Second, why has the provision in the 1937 Constitution, which allows for two Members of this House to be appointed Ministers, not been utilised? Third, why did the university Senators not drive the change voted for in the 1979 referendum? Perhaps it is because they did not want to put themselves out of business. I have been a Member of the Seanad for eight years. The university Senators believe they are superior to everyone else.
