Can someone please clarify why the Ceann Comhairle gets an automatic seat? Shouldn't this position be held by someone who isn't affiliated with a party? #GE24

No because he's not standing as CC again this time a new CC will be elected. So he's back to being FF. It's all a bit smoke and mirrors. No one truly goes from decades in a party to neutral
As per Houses of Oireachtas website..... The Constitution recognises this unique role and provides for the automatic re-election of an outgoing Ceann Comhairle who wishes to be a Member of the incoming Dáil.
