If the referendum to abolish Seanad Éireann is passed it means that all Government ministers will have to be TDs.
At present the Taoiseach is permitted to appoint two ministers, not the Finance Minister, from the Seanad.
Surely a reason to think again about abolishing the Upper House of our parliament.
Labour is running an ad calling for 'One Parliament'. Are there two parliaments in the State?
