Like Senator Tony Mulcahy, I was very annoyed by some of the comments made this morning at what appeared to be the launch of the campaign to abolish the Seanad. I inform those running the campaign that if they continue to use the position of people with disabilities in the campaign to abolish the House, some of us might become actively involved in the matter. We might highlight the fact that this House has facilitated greater equality for people with disabilities and passed more motions aimed at trying to promote equality than the Lower House.
