Scope and content
Material in this section is further divided chronologically into seven files, the first five covering Seanad Éireann [Irish Senate] elections in 1981, 1982, 1983 and 1987. They also include material relating to the general elections prior to Seanad elections, including Labour party colleagues looking for support from Mary Robinson (MR). MR ran successfully as a Labour candidate in all but the final election in 1987, when she successfully ran as an independent candidate following her resignation from the Labour party in November 1985.
The sixth file consists of a Dáil Constituency Commission report (1988) and draft and material in the final file relates to the 1989 Seanad Éireann election and includes MR's statement on why she had decided not to run, and letters of congratulations and thanks on a 20-year career as a Senator.
