Seanad Éireann.

Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil have agreed a voting pact to support former senators Gerry Horkan and Maria Byrne in a bid to secure one Seanad seat each in two upcoming by-elections.

The vacancies arise from the resignations of Sinn Féin’s Elishia McCallion from the Industrial and Commercial Panel and Fine Gael’s Michael D’Arcy from the Agricultural Panel last year.
