Amendment to Seanad Standing Orders: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2024-10-23
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I will come to my conclusion. That sent a positive signal. The reaction from people on the ground was that they saw democracy in play and decisions being made for the best. It strengthens the faith the public have in democracy when they see genuine democracy and the same principles of a secret ballot, of the best decisions, and a PR system as set out in the detailed proposal here. That is democracy in best practice.
