Students at TU Dublin have welcomed plans to allow all graduates to vote in Seanad elections.
At present, only students who attended the National University of Ireland (UCD, UCC, Galway and Maynooth) and Trinity College can elect the six university members to the Seanad.
However, under a plan brought to the Cabinet by Minister Darragh O'Brien, tens of thousands more people would be able to vote.
A new six-seat 'Higher Education' constituency would replace the existing NUI and University of Dublin university constituencies.
This plan was first approved in a referendum as far back as 1979, but it has never been implemented.
Watch our video to hear what students at TU Dublin made of the plan.
