Electoral Reform (Amendment) and Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-10
============================================================

Annie Hoey (LAB), Agricultural Panel

I thank the Civil Engagement Group for bringing forward this Bill. The Labour Party will be supporting it and voting in favour of it. I agree with my colleague, Senator Warfield, that we would like to see the Bill go to Committee Stage in order that we can pick through the bits that have been outlined as problematic. Sending something to Committee Stage does not send it to the Áras to be signed off into legislation.
