I apologise to the Senator. I will finish on this point. It is important to reach out to the Irish diaspora in some elections. They are decidedly important in terms of job creation here and now. This also applies to citizens in the North, who should be given the opportunity to vote in any future Seanad election, if there is to be another Seanad, or Presidential election. I commend Senator Crown on bringing forward this Bill but I condemn the Government for its piecemeal approach to political reform.
