Changes

There were no by-elections to the 22nd Seanad.

The first vacancy was caused by the death of Kate Walsh, who had been nominated by the Taoiseach and was replaced by another nominee.

Fourteen senators were elected to the 30th Dáil at the general election on 24 May 2007. Four of these had been nominated by the Taoiseach and were replaced by new nominees, but the seats of then ten elected senators remained vacant until the Seanad was dissolved. (The vacant seats were those of seats of James Bannon, Ulick Burke, Noel Coonan, Timmy Dooley, Frank Feighan, Brian Hayes, Martin Mansergh, Joe McHugh, Eamon Scanlon and Joanna Tuffy).
