A councillor or other politician with experience on the ground would have gone before the people. I agree with the idea of extending the franchise to include everybody in the country if that is possible. All educational establishments in the country should be recognised. Universities and third-level institutions have been mentioned and all those must be included. Apprenticeship programmes must also be recognised as there are multiple types of education and intelligence, which must recognised to ensure we can be inclusive of all people and cultures. It is important that the cultural aspect of society is included. I will contribute again on the relevant sections but it is important to have commented on the composition, as raised by Senator Quinn, as well as the terms of reference of the working group.
