Mixed fortunes for parties after count
IN what could be deemed the swan song for the Seanad, the elections for the Upper House saw mixed results for parties this week with Fianna Fáil retaining some pride in its attempt to rebuild its depleted parliamentary party.
Taking 14 of the 49 seats voted on, Micheál Martin’s party will be more than content with the results after Fianna Fáil had originally hoped to elect just 10 to 12 senators.
