History of the Council
The Council was formed by the Constitution of ADSIC. Originally slated to be a two house (bicameral) legislature, consisting of a House (Dail) and a Senate (Seanad). However, after much moderation, the council became the compromise solution.
The First Council will take office on September 17, 2007, consisting of ten members.
