‹ Order of Business Seanad abolition referendum
Summary
Willie O’Dea asked when legislation enabling a referendum on Seanad abolition would be passed; the Taoiseach said Cabinet was expected to clear it the following week.
Last week the Taoiseach assured the House that the legislation to provide for a referendum for the abolition of the Seanad would appear during this session. When is that legislation likely to be passed and does the Taoiseach envisage it taking place this year?
