I call on the Leader to inquire when this commission will sit, and I ask that a practising former politician who knows what it is like to canvass in and represent a constituency be allowed to sit on that commission. The Clerk of the Seanad sits on it, and does an excellent job, but I ask the Leader to ensure that a former practising politician also be allowed to sit on it to provide the common sense that is needed in this regard.
