The Government picks and chooses. I think 96% voted in favour of more direct public access to the nomination procedures of the Seanad, and it threw it out. It took things at about 52%, so it is very à la carte with regard to that.
We then had the business of second guessing the people. I have to laugh. Has the Minister of State ever heard of the Lisbon referendum?
