Seanad
‹ Order of Business Seanad’s constitutional role
Summary
Senator White recalls Minister McDowell’s support for the Seanad and argues that the Senate must remain independent of Government influence.
I remind my colleagues that during the last Senate the then Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Michael McDowell, very frequently visited us here and he was won over, by the standard of the debate, to the view that the Senate should be maintained.
