I echo Senator Feargal Quinn's hopes that the working group on Seanad reform will be productive. My own sense is that it should comprise people who are committed Seanad reformers and have spoken, acted, written and theorised on the issue. It should not include anybody who advocated for abolition of the Seanad. It would be strangely counterproductive to have an anti-reformist fifth column within the group. I feel very strongly about this.
