Why are the votes by elected representatives in the #Seanad elections not public?

Councillors, TDs and Senators get a vote solely by virtue of the people who elected them. They are representatives of the electorate and I think the electorate is entitled to know how they voted on their behalf.

Should public reps' votes for the Seanad be public or secret?

Tomás Heneghan: “When I sit down at the family table at Christmas, only one-third of my family around it have a right to vote. I couldn’t justify that.” Maybe you need to be versed in Ovid and the Saturnian meter for it to make sense that someone can be good enough to sit in the Seanad but not good enough to vote for it - Justine McCarthy https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2023/04/07/justine-mccarthy-what-makes-a-greek-scholar-qualified-to-choose-a-senator/ #Seanad #UniversalSuffrage

100 years after its founding the #Seanad is in need of major reform

It has produced some of our finest policymakers but it remains undemocratic & elitist

10 years on from the referendum & still no change https://twitter.com/senatormarkdaly/status/1602285596319301632

Time to get it open.

After 30 hours #Seanad debate we won 4 small but important changes to the still v. flawed Birth Information and Tracing Bill
1.Minister agreed to remove a restriction which would have stopped adoptees knowing name of someone who inquired about them when they were in institution

RT @VincentPMartin1: My Bill, ‘Protection of the Native Irish Honeybee 2021’ passed Second Stage in #Seanad yesterday.

It got full cross party support. Crucial to save our native honeybee from extinction.

Important to keep this legislative momentum going.

RT @NiallSF: I welcome growing cross-party support in the #Seanad for a new & dedicated Passport Office in the North. We need one now.

When @LeoVaradkar committed that the Irish Gov would “never again leave citizens in the North behind” was that caveated with “unless it’s political tricky”?
