I voted Yes to Seanad abolition today because; It is an elitist institution with only 4 in every 100 of pur people allowed to vote in Seanad elections. No other EU country of our size has a second chamber. We have 30% more national politicians than these countries. It costs at least 20m euro per year to run the Seanad. Incidentally, Fianna Fail, the only party campaigning to retain the Seanad, is set to lose 445,000 euro per annum, a third of its party funding if the Seanad is abolished. Every other party is choosing to relinquish this funding for the good of our country.
