What is the Seanad, and why should we care?

This week, we sit down to discuss what Amy has called “Irelands most misunderstood institution”- The Seanad.

As the Republic of Ireland’s upper house, the Seanad has recently undergone a series of by-elections, placing it in the news and having people ask- what actually does it do?

In this episode, we look at how what the Seanad actually does, break down its complicated election process and ask should the Seanad should be reformed—or abolished?
