It is beyond my pay grade to say where the Book of Kells should be kept but it is important that we preserve it. I thank Senator Butler for his firm advocacy on behalf of the people of Ireland and in terms of the importance of Ireland's Ancient East.

Senator Warfield raised the issue of Seanad reform. I hope that the current Seanad is modern and effective and that all of us, as representatives, are modern, effective voices for the people we represent. I hope that during the lifetime of this Seanad we will see reform of how the Seanad is elected, which is currently a matter of disagreement among some people. There are differing viewpoints on how we get there but the Senator is correct that Seanad reform remains an issue. I hope that we will see change.

What about my proposal regarding the letter?

The Senator might find disagreement on that. However, it is his prerogative as the proposer of that idea to seek support for it among other Members of the House. I cannot answer for all Members. It is a debate we have had and will have again in the next couple of months.
