Bull***** ed his way through an interview on RTE news at one just there where he tried to justify his poor voting record. The whole place is a luxury we can't afford.
Continuing from George Lee's rant on last night's Week in Politics ?
Is that FG policy now ?
If not, it should be.Originally Posted by kvof
Our cost of government needs to drastically reduce.
Seanad needs to be reformed not abolished.
Signature removed as it breached the signature rules
It should be abolished, it doesnt serve any useful purpose.
If you want to have a second chamber, then make sure it is elected by the people of the nation. Perhaps we have 3 senators from each province and three from Dublin, I would also support having a Sentor for the Irish immigrants, Italy and France have this system and i think maybe a Sentor representing N.I as well.
But if it isnt going to be changed then we should get rid of it.
'A defeatist attitude now would surely lead to defeat, it primarly a question of whether we have confidence in ourselves and the dilligence and determination of our people,We can't opt out of the future.' Sean Lemass (1965)
maybe if he respected it more and voted on the bills before the Seanad he wouldn't think it was a waste of space...
Considering Mullen is an independent Senator, I doubt it!!
I like the American way of it better. 2 Senators from each of the counties in Ireland, elected by the people.

Ronan Mullen needs to be abolished.
God no! we need to take the parish pump out of Irish politics. I personally feel the Seanad should be abolished but if its kept let people vote for their senators in a national list system.
Catholic fundy & Islam hater Ronan Mullen is a reason on its own for Seanad reform.
