One of the recommendations of the Working Group on Seanad Reform was the establishment of an Implementation Group to oversee the implementation of the reforms contained in its Report.

On 28 September, I wrote to Party Leaders indicating my belief that the Group should be based in the Oireachtas and comprise members of the Dáil and Seanad from all parties and groups and seeking their agreement to this approach and their intention to participate. Contacts are continuing with parties to finalise nominations with a view to having the Group up and running as soon as possible.
