The debate was very worthwhile. I compliment in particular Senators Labhrás Ó Murchú, Paschal Mooney and Brian Ó Domhnaill who contributed. Many reports have been produced on this issue since 2000 and many institutes, including the Geary Institute in University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin, have done studies. One of the main recommendations from those is that there be all-party consensus on establishing an electoral commission because it is too important an issue for politicians to play politics with it. Somebody should go and tell Senator MacSharry how to get things done.
