Northerners 'should be allowed vote in Seanad elections'

Sinn Féin has called for people in the North and emigrants registered with Irish Embassies abroad to be given the right to vote in Seanad elections in Ireland.

The party's submission to an Oireachtas committee on Seanad reform said people over the age of 16 on both sides of the border should be allowed to elect Irish Senators.
