Seanad reform

Summary

Senator Quinn asks the Leader to press the Taoiseach for action on the long-promised Seanad reform proposals.

I would like to bring up the question of Seanad reform. It is a long time since we had the referendum, after which the Taoiseach came back almost immediately and talked about having had a wallop and that we would have to do something about it. Eventually, last October, I think, he set up a committee consider it. It reported, to the best of my knowledge, in April and we were given a guarantee that action would take place. It is now 1 July and I fear that all these promises of Seanad reform are going to die.

Will the Leader ask the Taoiseach when something can be done about this issue?
