Seanad Electoral (University Members) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2020-11-10
============================================================

David P.B. Norris (IND), University of Dublin

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Malcolm Noonan. I was a little taken aback when, as I understood it, Senator Cassells attempted to draw a comparison between the university seats and President Donald Trump. I have heard everything now. My God almighty.
I have been campaigning for Seanad reform for more than 40 years and the parties did bugger all about it.
