Material in this subsubseries relates to the Labour party in the 1970s and Mary Robinson (MR)'s membership from 1976 onwards. It consists of four files covering Labour policies (P143/2/1/1); material relating to the General Election of 1977 and subsequent Seanad Éireann [Irish Senate] elections (P143/2/1/1/2); material relating to the Labour Party European Affairs Committee (P143/2/1/1/3) and local elections in 1979 (P143/2/1/1/4).
MR was already an elected member of Seanad Éireann when she joined the party in 1976 but successfully ran as a Labour candidate in 1977 on the Dublin University Panel (See P143/2/2/1), following her defeat in the General Election. She retained her Seanad seat, following her unsuccessful run in the local elections in 1979.
[Archivist's note: A Seanad election takes place up to 90 days after Dáil Éireann [lower house of Irish parliament] has dissolved. This means that the new Dáil has assembled before the Seanad election takes place. Often candidates who were unsuccessful in the general election who were eligible to run for the Seanad, would do so, or would get nominated as part of the Taoiseach's nominees. (49 of the Seanad’s 60 members are elected and 11 are nominated by the Taoiseach.) Of the 49 elected members, 43 are elected from panels of candidates representing specified vocational interests. The remaining 6 members are elected by university graduates of certain universities. MR was elected through the Dublin University [Trinity College Dublin] panel as one of 3 places on offer.]
