Dáil would have too much control if Seanad is abolished, campaigners argue

A campaign against the abolition of the Seanad says without the Upper House, the Dáil would have too much control and it would represent a power grab by the government.

The independent group, Democracy Matters, says the Seanad should be maintained to keep checks and balances, and scrutinise what goes on in the Dáil.
