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

Malcolm Byrne (FF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I wish to speak briefly because I am conscious we are out of time. I know An Coimisiún Toghcháin has been asked to look more generally at the issue of list systems rather than by-elections. I raised with the Minister the question of whether list systems will apply more generally and whether it is his view it should apply more generally, whether to other Seanad elections or indeed to Dáil elections in the same way as it applies in European elections.
