The Sinn Fein rep is focusing on special educational needs.
"The Sinn Fein Laois team need to pull together and plan for the future"
That's according to newly elected senator Maria McCormack following the departure of Brian and Caroline Dwane Stanley and Aidan Mullins.
Ms McCormack says she's looking to focus on the future rather than dwelling on the past.

She says she's proud to have the opportunity to use her voice in Seanad as a woman:
