In recent Seanad elections, Victor Boyhan topped the Agricultural panel despite criticisms against the Greens navigating farming politics. Alongside him, Lynn Ruane, Tom Clonan, and newcomer Aubrey McCarthy secured seats on the Trinity College panel, reflecting a changing political landscape. However, the results brought disappointment for Green candidate Hazel Chu, who fell short in a recount. Key losses included Lorraine Clifford-Lee of Fianna Fáil, who must now await possible Taoiseach nomination, alongside other candidates like former TD Joe Flaherty. The Cultural and Educational panel also saw significant results as the count concluded, indicating ongoing shifts in representation.
