Taoiseach's Nominees[edit]

I'm not sure how many of the Taoiseach's Nominees will take a whip, I took them from article from The Journal, had to put something down for the table to work. William Quill (talk) 20:26, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Setting the party affiliation to unknown (party = unknown) will get the template to work. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 20:58, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. --William Quill (talk) 22:41, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - No prob. I think you can say safely say Martin McAleese will be sitting as an Independent per the Irish Times ref in the article. Both that and the RTÉ website quote him as saying he will be an Independent. Some of the others.... well, it's a case of wait and see. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 23:15, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've set the unknown to Independent for now, if they take a party whip, it can be updated. Snappy (talk) 16:21, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Party Allegiances[edit]

This article as currently written makes it look like the Senators are representing political parties in the Seanad. Although this may be the de facto situation, technically each Senator represents a panel, university or is independent having been nominated by the Taoiseach. Once appointed/elected to the Seanad Senators do not represent political parties or constituencies although they may align themselves with or against the government for voting. (Ollamhnua (talk) 12:13, 1 August 2012 (UTC))[reply]

This information is taken from Oireachtas Members database which lists the Senators party allegiance as well as their panel / constituency. Snappy (talk) 19:17, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
