The result of the Referendum held on 4 October 2013 was a vote in favour of retaining Seanad Éireann.

The Government has announced the intention to legislate for a combined single six-seat constituency to be elected by graduates from all institutions.

Clár Toghthóirí Sheanad Éireann do Thoghlach Ollscoil Átha Cliath
Ba é toradh na vótála sa Reifreann a tionóladh an 4 Deireadh Fómhair 2013 ná Seanad Éireann a choimeád. Faoi láthair, toghtar triúr comhaltaí ó thoghlach Ollscoil Átha Cliath agus triúr ó thoghlach Ollscoil na hÉireann. Tá sé fógartha ag an Rialtas go bhfuil sé beartaithe reachtaíocht a dhéanamh do thoghlach comhcheangailte amháin ina mbeidh sé shuíochán le toghadh ag céimithe na n-institiúidí go léir.
Beidh gach céimí de chuid Ollscoil Átha Cliath ar a bronnadh céim ón Ollscoil seo, ar saoránaigh de chuid na hÉireann iad, incháilithe clárú ina dToghthóirí Ollscoile. Má tá tusa sa chatagóir sin, moltar duit a chinntiú go bhfuil tú san áireamh ar chlár na dtoghthóirí.
Foilsítear an clár gach bliain ar 1 Meitheamh. An 26 Feabhra an lá deiridh le hainmneacha nua a chur leis an gclár i mbliain ar bith. Más mian leat d’ainm a chur leis an gclár, líon isteach an Fhoirm Éilimh agus seol ar ais chuig an gClárlann Acadúil, Ollscoil Átha Cliath, Coláiste na Tríonóide, Baile Átha Cliath 2 í, nó seol ar ríomhphost chuig duseanad@tcd.ie í.
Má tá tú cláraithe i do thoghthóir cheana féin, féadfaidh tú do chuid mionsonraí a nuashonrú ag am ar bith tríd an bhfoirm ar líne a chomhlánú nó trí ríomhphost a sheoladh chuig an gClárlann Acadúil ag duseanad@tcd.ie.
D’fhonn ár gcuid rannpháirtíochta a uasmhéadú agus lena chinntiú go cloisfear dearcthaí chéimithe Choláiste na Tríonóide i dtoghlach Ollscoil Átha Cliath, tá sé tábhachtach go mbainfidh tú leas as do cheart a bheith páirteach sa phróiseas daonlathach seo.
Is díol suntais mór é rannchuidiú na 22 chomhalta de chuid Seanad Éireann a toghadh i dtoghlach Ollscoil Átha Cliath ó 1938 agus tá achoimre ghearr ar an rannchuidiú seo le léamh anseo. Beidh ról tábhachtach san Oireachtas i gcónaí ag comhaltaí Sheanad Éireann ar ionadaithe iad ar thoghlach Ollscoil Átha Cliath. Ba chóir go mbeadh an guth sin le cloisteáil i gcónaí sna blianta amach romhainn.
