Letter in today’s Irish Times.
Madam,
Enda Kenny is correct to call for the abolition of Seanad Éireann.
This expensive but totally irrelevant institution cut its work week by 50 per cent this week, from three to 1½ days, because a mere seven of its 60 members are attending the British/Irish Parliamentary Assembly in Swansea.
A referendum on the matter cannot come soon enough.
Yours, etc,
Anthony Sheridan
If we can do without these people for a week at this time in our history – then we can do without them for ever, Let the Swansea Seven stay there and the other Sixty Three layabouts remain home. And good riddance…
Sorry Senate – meant the other Fifty Three layabouts…..
