Darragh O'Brien (Fianna Fail)

They were just thrown in together and the number of chairpersons was reduced. However, last week the number was increased again. All that is being done is window-dressing, not real reform. All we are asking for today is real reform and I thank all colleagues from all sides who contributed to the debate. It is a shame that some Senators have remained silent and have allowed themselves be told by the leaders of both Fine Gael and the Labour Party not to contribute to the debate.
