It is my considered opinion that the Upper House, the Seanad, should be reformed in the interests of the governance of the State. We do not need a referendum to do this, nor do we need to incur all of the costs such a referendum would entail. The matter needs careful and in-depth discussion and consideration because, as we have learned in recent years, the choices in respect of State governance that imply major change need time for consideration. That is the least the people deserve.
