Clear-out of Seanad ‘old guard’ a blow to Enda Kenny

Leader of the Seanad, Fine Gael’s Maurice Cummins, lost his seat on the Labour panel, while Pat O’Neill, Cait Keane and Michael Commiskey also were unsuccessful.
Fine Gael whip in the Seanad, the popular and well respected Paul Coghlan, was also in trouble late last night.
