Three by graduates of the University of Dublin (generally known as Trinity College, Dublin).
This empowered the Oireachtas to extend the franchise for the election of the six university senators to the graduates of additional institutions by ordinary legislation.
However it recommended that the vocational panels be abolished, that 32 seats should be filled by direct elections, that the franchise for electing university senators should be extended to all third level graduates, and that the Taoiseach should be formally required to use his nominees to represent Northern Ireland, the diaspora and marginalised groups.

 CAIN: Politics: Elections: Introduction to the Electoral System in Northern Ireland
For the purpose of the European elections Northern Ireland is treated as a single constituency and voting is by means of (PR) with three members being returned as Members of the European Parliament (MEPs).
Under this method in each single seat constituency the voter simply puts an ‘X’ on the ballot paper beside the candidate of their choice and the candidate who obtains the most votes is deemed to be elected.
On this occasion rather than voting for a specific candidate in a multi-member constituency the elector was asked to give their vote to a particular party.

Another inherence-utopian vision incorporates the Internet's group mind as only a minor foreshadowing of an end-of-time God, intelligent life connected throughout the universe, as a result of colonization of space (and so forth).
The Net's protean aspect has important implications for views that condemn distance education on the grounds that the Net is incapable of being a vehicle for the transmission of intellectual values that have been inculcated by traditional universities.
Moreover, they are not necessarily competitors, since distance education may attract a constituency of students that doesn't affect the frequency of traditional education's ``moments,'' adding its own moments for students who might otherwise have been unable to afford the traditional experience or who simply prefer the way distance education fits into their lives.
