Seanad election: Fianna Fáil’s Timmy Dooley and Fine Gael’s Catherine Noone eliminated

Mr Dooley was at the centre of the “fobgate” controversy when he left the Dáil chamber and his Limerick colleague Niall Collins voted for him six times in his absence. Mr Dooley lost his portfolio as the party’s spokesman on communications, environment and natural resources.

Ms Noone had described Leo Varadkar as “autistic” during her general election campaign run in Dublin Bay North but subsequently apologised. The Taoiseach said that while her comments were ignorant it was not proportionate for her to lose her job. But she raised eyebrows when in 2018 she remarked that Ministers should have been allowed to keep their State cars. Two years earlier when she expressed dissatisfaction that she had not received GAA tickets to the all-Ireland final.The 43-year old Claremorris, Co Mayo woman was praised as chair of the Oireachtas committee on the Eighth Amendment on abortion.

In 2018 she was involved in a row with another Fine Gael senator involving claims of bullying and sexism.

Ruth Coppinger didn’t get a Senate seat either. Good news.

Great news 👏👏👏👏

Karma....

You must be shit if you can't get into the seanad

catherineanoone reading this has made my day.get in there!!!

Timmy behaviour wasn't acceptable as public representative, just reward

How unsurprising that liberals play down the fact this pro-abort pair join a long list of similars dumped by the electorate in the Dáil elections...

Public life in Ireland will be greatly enriched and ennobled by these sackings.

Great news

Oh dear

Hopefully the end of 2 duds...
