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

Malcolm Noonan (GP), Carlow-Kilkenny

I thank Senators Higgins, Ruane, Black and Flynn for bringing the Bill to the Seanad and to all of the Senators for their contributions.
Before I speak specifically through my notes, I will respond to some of the points raised by Senators during the debate this evening. It is useful that we have had this debate.
I would say at the outset that I value this Chamber. I am here often, as the Senators will be aware.
