Ireland's newest Senator, Tom Clonan

Security analyst Tom Clonan wins the Trinity Seanad by-election

Tom Clonan, a disability campaigner, beat out Maureen Gaffney in the final count by 160 votes.

LAST UPDATE | 31 Mar 2022

SECURITY ANALYST AND columnist for The Journal, Tom Clonan, has been elected as Ireland’s latest Senator following the Trinity Seanad by-election.

“My head is spinning at the moment,” Clonan told RTÉ’s Late Debate following his election. 

He said he wasn’t at the count centre because he wasn’t expecting to be elected, and he had previous obligations to meet whistleblowers in Cork. 

“I just want to thank everybody who voted for me and the other candidates,” he said, adding that it was “such a collegiate campaign”.

Clonan beat out Maureen Gaffney in the final count to win by 160 votes, with a total of 5,358 votes. Gaffney received 5,198 votes.

Gaffney came ahead of Green Party councillor Hazel Chu in the fifteenth count, leading to Chu’s elimination.

In the final count, Clonan came out on top with the most transfers from Chu.

Early on, Hugo MacNeill, a former Irish international rugby player and chairman of the British-Irish Association, had originally topped the poll and was in the lead up until the tenth count.

He was officially eliminated after the fourteenth count, when PHD student Ursula Quill had her votes redistributed. MacNeill thanked those who voted for him, and congratulated Clonan on a “stellar” campaign, saying he will make an “outstanding” senator. 

Kildare businessman Aubrey McCarthy and DCU assistant professor Sadhbh O’Neill were eliminated on the twelfth and eleventh counts respectively.

Clonan’s son Eoghan, who is a wheelchair user, was his father’s campaign manager.

Tom Clonan said that it was almost a “protest” campaign, and that he hopes to continue to raise topics such as disability and access, as well as gender-based violence issues in his new role.

He said that independent academic senators are important to hold the Government to account, and that he takes “great inspiration” from his fellow independent Trinity senators, Lynn Ruane and his cousin, David Norris.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin congratulated Tom Clonan on winning the Seanad seat.

“No doubt you will be a strong voice and advocate for disability rights in Seanad Éireann and I wish you every success.”

The by-election is being held to fill the vacant Trinity seat caused by Ivana Bacik’s election to the Dáil. 

TD Bacik was elected last year in the Dublin Bay South constituency by-election. She was last week confirmed as the new leader of the Labour Party following the resignation of Alan Kelly. 

There were 17 candidates vying for the vacant Seanad seat. Over 67,000 Trinity graduates are registered to vote. 

Ballot papers were issued to registered electors in February and polls closed yesterday.

    @Tricia G ☘️: In theory but in reality you’re asking for the mostly FF & FG Seanad to keep the mostly FF & FG Dail in check.

    If the Seanad really were to exist as a check then it shouldn’t allow political appointments and only independents should be allowed run for election. That ideal is very far removed from what the Seanad actually is.

    Reform will also never happen since it’s not in the interest of ruling parties to create constructs to restrict their influence.

(even though I do not agree with some of her extremist views) There appears to be a pressure group in this country determined to reduce the number of elected politicians, a development that would increase the power of unelected bureaucrats.

    The Seanad needs reform. Why do graduates from old universities get to elect senators, when nobody else gets a vote? It is not much better than the House of Lords. Copy the Aussie Senate – Maybe six senators from each province, or more depending on the population.

    @A Well Known Comical Stereotype AKA PRGuy: Are you aware of how most Senators are elected in Ireland? Maybe that is where the greater issue lies, perhaps we should hold a poll on The Journal for all future government elections – that should give us all what we want and the bots could vote as often as they wish too. Vote early, vote often (and hey, we should be allowed to vote them out every other week too and vote for them to lose pension rights when they screw up, just like in the other real World). I think that we should be paying Senators a lot more money to start with, the theory being that the higher the salary, the better the candidate, hmph!

    The electorate made such an enormous and foolish mistake to keep it. Literally went out of their way to vote for a taxpayer trough for rejected politicians, those who failed to get elected or those who even failed to get on their parties ticket for the Dáil. All for a house that does absolutely nothing.

    Only in Ireland would we go to such effort to reward and accept political failure while we struggle to provide even basic pay and conditions to nurses and teachers.

    @Rochelle: as somebody correctly said, too many people deciding to “stick it to the government”, deluding themselves into believing they were voting for a non existent reform option that was never on the ballot. It should have been reformed.
    That said, if people actually used their local council votes, its the councillors who elect most panels, and Taoiseach nominees is an indirect impact of the Dail vote, so it is indirectly democratic.The problem is the university panels which is profoundly undemocratic.

    Best the Seanad can do is recommend changes (which do not have to be adopted) and delay (but not completely stop) a bill. It’s basically a step up for those who just missed out on a Dail seat, and a few cushy years for a TD on the way out.

    It came down to a contest between Clooney and Gaffney. I think the lesser of two evils prevailed.

    How wrong I was. Would love to know the exact figs on Chu’s transfers… Some excellent candidates in this by-election, including Conan & Gaffney…

    Congratulations Tom Clonan! Did not vote because I never received ballot paper from TCD and I believe I’m on the register.

    In my opinion Maureen Gaffney and Tom Clonan were the two best Candidates so I
    I am glad that both of them did well.
