I had planned to raise the important issue of welfare and work this morning, but I will postpone that until tomorrow morning because I need to comment on what I saw outside the gates of Leinster House as I was coming in. I saw the former Minister, Alan Dukes, and the former Minister of State, Liz McManus, carrying a poster that said "End this failure" in reference to the Seanad. I am disgusted by how dirty this campaign is getting on the "Yes" side. All of it is linked to the Government. What if I was to say "End this failure" in reference to Anglo Irish Bank? Who bankrupted this country? It was Anglo Irish Bank. Over 1,000 of our young people are leaving our shores every week. We are all suffering cuts because of the negligence in Anglo Irish Bank. If I was to say "End this failure", I would be referring to Anglo Irish Bank rather than the Seanad. We need to be careful in what we say. I do not believe in dirty campaigning, but I am afraid this campaign has become very dirty. I hear people from the "Yes" campaign saying every night, including last night, that every one of us in this House is a failed politician. I reject that not on my own behalf, but on behalf of everyone here and on behalf of those who preceded us and made massive contributions. The Minister, Deputy Bruton, was a Member of this House, as were the Ministers of State, Deputies White and Cannon.

Does the Senator have a question for the Leader?

Yes.

Are they are also calling themselves failed politicians? I doubt it. I support my esteemed colleague, Senator Quinn. Next week, I hope the people will have seen through the dirty campaign and will have read the subtext for a "No" vote to retain and reform the Seanad.

A number of Senators have indicated that they wish to speak.

I ask the Leader to allow us to move No. 44, motion 8 on the Order Paper. It is a motion Senator Bradford and I have tabled which calls for a cross-party, all-grouping agreement on a reform package to be put before this House on which I know we will agree.

Is the Senator proposing an amendment to the Order of Business?

The motion calls for the report of such proposals to be put before the House no later than 20 February 2014. We have exciting plans for reform.
