Frank Feighan (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

From 2002 to 2007, I used the Seanad to get elected to the Dáil and I did not give this House as much time as I should have done. I look forward to being an active Member of this Seanad and working with everybody to try to do what is best for society. We have been elected to advise on and revise Bills but we must also represent the people of middle Ireland, which is where I come from. I do not come from a union or an academic background. I come from middle Ireland and will articulate that voice unchallenged.

I remember Mr. Joe O'Toole who was one of the best Senators and best politicians we have ever had.
