Seanad reform leaders meeting
Senator O’Brien seeks confirmation of a Taoiseach meeting on Seanad reform, with a brief interjection from Senator Coghlan.
The Leader is correct that three hours for Report Stage tomorrow is sufficient.
Is the Leader in a position to provide an update on the meeting the leaders of the various groups were supposed to have with the Taoiseach in respect of Seanad reform? I had understood that the meeting to which I refer was due to be held on Wednesday next. As leader of the Fianna Fáil group, I have received no formal notification of or request from the Taoiseach to attend such a meeting. Am I to assume that the meeting will not be proceeding? Perhaps the Leader is in possession of more information than I am. Will the Taoiseach be sending me an invitation to the meeting in order that he might hear what I have to say?

He might not want to hear from the Senator
