Madam, – The current Government, even without the Taoiseach’s 11 choices, has an overall majority in the Seanad Éireann. May I suggest not filling the seats and reducing the cost of the Senate by 18.33 per cent by having only 49 seats?
This measure would be a start in deconstructing the Senate and save the taxpayers well over a million a year. – Yours, etc,
