I am looking forward to the imminent Cabinet reshuffle, which cannot come soon enough. I hope it is robust and radical and that the Taoiseach takes the opportunity to appoint Ministers and Ministers of State who will listen to the public and their representatives.

The Seanad has no role in the Cabinet reshuffle.

Of course it does.

It is a reasonable point.

Members of the Seanad can be appointed to the Cabinet.

Senator Whelan without interruption.

I thank the Cathaoirleach.

Senators Kelly and Landy are available.

This House has no role in regard to that appointment. Please allow Senator Whelan to continue without interruption.
