  • Future Matters Is an Independent Campaign of Young People of Various Party Affiliations and None Who Are Committed to the Ongoing Reform of the Seanad
    Introduction Future Matters is an independent campaign of young people of various party affiliations and none who are committed to the ongoing reform of the Seanad. Previously, we have submitted to a public consultation 1 on the provisions of the Seanad Universities Electoral Bill. Indeed many of the comments of this submission are broadly drawn from our previous submission 2. Seanad Éireann needs reform. The current electoral system was – rightly – pointed out by proponents of Seanad abolition as élitist and heavily controlled by political parties. The only 'reform' offered by the current Government with regard to Seanad franchise is to expand the Universities Panel electorate to include all third level graduates. Members of Future Matters together with Labour Senators Featured on Broadsheet.ie on July 24, 2013 www.broadsheet.ie/2013/07/24/stepping-out-of-line Reform of Seanad Electoral system We have confined our comments in this submission to measures which could be adopted with relative ease and in addition are within constitutional limits as required by the terms of reference of this consultation. Such measures should be enacted in time for the running of the next Seanad election which is due to take place within the next 18 months 3. As to the day to day operations of how the Seanad conducts its business, we feel that it is the Senators themselves who are best placed to make any necessary adjustments to their standing orders. However, we note the many suggestions in this space by groups such as Democracy Matters and Lawyers for

Under Article 15.1.1, the Oireachtas consists of the Presidency, “a House of Representatives to be called Dáil Éireann and a Senate to be called Seanad Éireann”. As a “Free State Senate” existed during the currency of the Irish Free State from 1922 until its abolition in 1936, the Seanad we know today is sometimes referred to as the “Second Seanad”. The new system of Vocational Panels used to nominate candidates for the Seanad was inspired by Roman Catholic social teaching of the 1930s, and in particular the 1931 papal encyclical Quadragesimo Anno. In this document Pope Pius XI argued that the Marxist concept of class conflict should be replaced with a vision of social order based on the cooperation and interdependence of society’s various vocational groups. Under Article 15.9.1 the Seanad elects a Chairman (often known by the Irish title, Cathaoirleach). The Seanad establishes its own standing-committees and select committees. Senators also participate, along with TDs (members of the Dáil), in joint committees of the Oireachtas. The Taoiseach may appoint a maximum of two senators as Ministers. In this way, it is possible for the Taoiseach to appoint two persons from outside politics to the Seanad, and following this, to appoint them to serve as Government Ministers.
