The Agricultural Panel (Irish: An Rolla Talmhaíochta) is one of five vocational panels which together elect 43 of the 60 members of Seanad Éireann, the upper house of the Oireachtas (the legislature of Ireland). The Agricultural Panel elects eleven senators.

Election

Article 18 of the Constitution of Ireland provides that 43 of the 60 senators are to be elected from five vocational panels. The Agricultural Panel is defined in Article 18.7.1º(v) as "Agriculture and allied interests, and Fisheries".^[1] The Seanad returning officer maintains a list of nominating bodies for each of the five panels.^[2] Candidates may be nominated either by four members of the Oireachtas or by a nominating body.^[3]^[4] The electorate consists of city and county councillors and current members of the Oireachtas. As the Seanad election takes place after the election to the Dáil, the Oireachtas members are the members of the incoming Dáil and the outgoing Seanad.^[5] Eleven senators are elected on the Agricultural Panel, at least four of whom must have been nominated by Oireachtas members and at least four must have been nominated by nominating bodies.^[6]^[7]
