I keep Deputy Adams up to date on all of our work in the Seanad. The Minister of State noted that I and many others in this House are strong advocates for a reduction in the voting age to 16. Referendums proposed more recently than those recommended by the Convention on the Constitution have somehow leapfrogged this referendum. This show that we do not have a voice in Cabinet or someone at the table who cares about the issue.The Minister of State should lead with legislative change to give this referendum the best chance of passing when we eventually get there.
