Seanad Electoral (University Members) (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2024-10-16
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

I have addressed that. The Bill I have proposed and the extension of the franchise is as per the definitions in the Bill. I cannot extend that further at this stage. I have said I believe the Electoral Commission and, indeed, a future government, will be able to build on this most substantial reform of the Seanad and to build on the reform should this legislation pass. I think the Senators will see the urgency with which we have approached it. I thank the Seanad for enabling us to do that because I want to get this Bill into the Dáil next week.
