I acknowledge the contribution by the Leader of the House and welcome our guests. I hope their contributions to the report will result in a Bill that brings reform to the Seanad but this is not the first occasion we have debated Seanad reform. I find these debates very amusing because we can hear some crackers from Senators. We heard one such cracker from Senator Paul Coghlan, who suggested that we should keep politics out of the Seanad.
