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

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

In the Seanad reform implementation group, I had an amendment drafted that all those elected on the panels in the case of vacancies would be selected by a list system but is the Minister conscious of any constitutional concerns that exist in terms of the replacement list for the universities when in fact, Bunreacht na hÉireann specifically says that a Member should be elected by the universities?
