Things I learn't today (Part 2)

Mary Fitzpatrick is currently a Senator. A real Senator, elected in the Seanad elections of 2025. It’s to the best of my knowledge the only national election she has ever been successful in. In horse racing parlance she has a fine scatter of duckeggs to her name with the solitary 1.

she is unelectable - never elected beyond a councillor
