Ireland: Fianna Fáil U-turn on Seanad looks to have sealed fate of Upper House, The Irish Times (2011)
This article discusses the possibility to hold a referendum to abolish the Seanad in Ireland. A senate had existed in the country since its Independence but was abolished by Fianna Fáil Éamon de Valera in 1936, but then reinstated in the 1937 Constitution. If the referendum will be hold together and approved by the electorate, it would require major constitutional changes.
