Work is proceeding on the preparation of proposals for a referendum on the abolition of the Seanad. The proposal to abolish the Seanad is contained in the Programme for Government and the Dáil and Seanad will have an opportunity to fully debate the necessary legislation when it is published.
It is intended that the referendum on abolition of the Seanad will take place as soon as practicable, consistent with the Government's other referendum commitments.
