Two constitutional referendums were held simultaneously in Ireland on 4 October 2013. The Thirty-second Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2013 proposed abolishing the Seanad, the upper house of the Oireachtas, and was rejected despite opinion polls to the contrary, whilst the Thirty-third Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2013 proposed the establishment of a Court of Appeal to sit between the High Court and the Supreme Court, taking over the existing appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, and was approved by voters.

No, but make it useful by giving members, who have specific professional skills, and are directly elected by the people of Ireland, specific analytic functions. No meber of the Seanad can stand for election without signing a solemn declaraion that they have no affiliation to any political party. This should help increase their objectivity without any alegience to party politics.
