Migrants should have voice but quotas are out

Piotr Gawlik (August 3) argues for the appointment of an independent senator to the Seanad to be a representative voice for Ireland’s migrant community.

I agree, as long as it doesn’t involve quotas. I disagree with quotas full stop. Further, eligible candidates need to put their names forward to run.

If any potential candidates to be a representative voice of the migrant community in Ireland think getting elected is a long shot, then I suggest those candidates take inspiration from the Irish Jewish community.
