Cultural and Educational Panel

The Cultural and Educational Panel (Irish: An Rolla Saíochta agus Oideachais) 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 Cultural and Educational Panel elects five senators, at least two of whom must come from the Oireachtas members' nominees and another three must come from the nominating bodies' nominees.
