Thirty-second Amendment of the Constitution (Abolition of Seanad Éireann) Bill 2013

Public bill · Government · Presented

The proposal would abolish Seanad Éireann after the first Dáil meets following the next general election, leaving the Oireachtas with the President and Dáil Éireann only. It would remove the Seanad’s role in passing laws and constitutional procedures, transfer relevant powers to the Dáil, require Government ministers to be TDs, and set out arrangements for unfinished legislation and other ongoing procedures.
