Fianna Fáil and Greens eye Seanad electoral pact
The Green Party has a total of only 26 votes available for any candidate for the Seanad elections, which come from Oireachtas members and county councillors.
In normal circumstances, that would not give the party any hope of winning a seat. How-ever, with a transfer pact between Fianna Fáil and Progressive Democrat TDs and councillors, both the Greens and PDs could hope for a seat each in the Seanad, with both boosting Fianna Fáil support.
