I propose to take Questions Nos. 882 and 901 together.

The final meeting of the All-Party Group on Seanad Reform was held on Wednesday 4 November 2009; the aim of the Group was to establish the extent of cross-party agreement on the reform of the Upper House. I intend to report to Government shortly on the outcome of the Group's discussions.
