Irish government plans to extend Seanad voting rights to higher education graduates.

The Irish government plans to extend Seanad voting rights to all Irish citizens who are graduates of higher education institutions. A new bill will create a six-seat "Higher Education" constituency, replacing the current NUI and Trinity College Dublin panels, following a Supreme Court ruling on electoral constitutionality. Other cabinet discussions include banning single-use vapes, increasing GP numbers, and assessing government impacts on small enterprises.
