Seanad 2011

This election to the Seanad is bound to take some time, feel free to update via comments

The five-seat Cultural and Educational panel is the first to return – FF drop one seat and Lab Gain.

FG – Deidre Clune
FF – Labhrás Ó Murchú
FF – Thomas Byrne
Labour – John Gilroy
Fine Gael – Michael Mullins

The Agricultural Panel is next, notably Martin Manseragh had a disasterous first count while Trevor Ó Clochartaigh of SF returned a real surprise.

The panel previously returned 6 FF, 4 FG, 1 Lab. Detail (via politics.ie)

With much focus on Micheál Martin’s panel of 10, potential figures for rebuilding FF, there is a lot riding on this sideshow for some:

Seán Connick – Agricultural
Brian Ó Domhnaill – Agricultural
James Carroll – Agricultural
Mary Fitzpatrick – Administrative
Thomas Byrne – Cultural & Education
Darragh O’Brien – Labour
Jennifer Murnane O’Connor – Labour
Averil Power – Industrial and Commercial
Marc MacSharry – Industrial and Commercial
Kenneth O’Flynn – Industrial and Commercial

Could be some interesting hours ahead. Though, potentially a mere 10 FF Senators – Irish politics has changed and changed totally and we are about to have it rammed home again.
