The voting rights of emigrant Irish is up for debate this weekend at the Constitutional Convention. The question of how to include the Diaspora in the affairs of their homeland has frequently been asked, but now serious consideration is being given to allowing citizens abroad the right to vote in certain Irish elections.

So, are citizens living abroad entitled to a vote here, or is it a case of no representation without taxation?

The Sunday Show debated this very question this week as Brian Reynolds from Ballotbox.ie , Richard Humphreys, S.C. and Sinead Ryan of the Herald newspaper joined Shane in the studio.

A lively discussion ensued as the legal obstacles to introducing such measures, as well as the elections that emigrants would be eligible to partake in, were examined.
