	Seanad Éireann - Politics.ie Wiki
		Seanad Éireann is the Upper House of the Oireachtas.
		The first Seanad Election took place in December 1922 and the system of election was that the leader of the Government, the President of the Executive Council, nominated thirty members, exactly half the house.
		The Seanad was abolished on May 29, 1936 as it was impossible for the then Fianna Fáil government to get legislation through the chamber, in particular the proposals to abolish the Oath of Allegiance and the Office of the Governor General.

		However, as the electorate for the panels is made up of the Members of the incoming Dáil, the outgoing Seanad, county councils and county borough councils, the composition of Seanad Éireann, including the Taoiseach's nominees, will tend to reflect party strengths in Dáil Éireann.
		Seanad Éireann normally meets on Wednesdays and Thursdays and its main business is the revising of legislation sent to it by Dáil Éireann.
		Seanad Éireann can initiate and revise legislation but under the Constitution its legislative role is restricted in that it cannot initiate Money Bill i.e.

	Seanad Éireann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seanad Éireann (IPA: [ˈʃanəd̪ ˈeːrʲən]; English: Senate of Ireland), also known unofficially as the Senate, is the upper house of the Oireachtas (parliament) of the Republic of Ireland.
		The first Seanad consisted of a mixture of members appointed by the President of the Executive Council and members indirectly elected by the Dáil, and President W.T. Cosgrave agreed to use his appointments to grant extra representation to the state's Protestant minority.
		This new Seanad was considered to be the direct successor of the Free State Seanad and so the first Seanad convened under the new constitution was referred to as the "Second Seanad".
