Twelve party members put their names forward but following an internal party process Mr Noonan was selected and outgoing senators Róisín Garvey and Vincent P Martin will stand down. Most of the party’s 10 TDs who lost their seats did not wish to run for the Seanad, including Minister for Arts and Media Catherine Martin.
Senator Paul Gavan did not receive the backing of the party’s ardchomhairle to run as an “inside” candidate. He has, however, received an outside nomination and will run on the Labour panel..
