Fine Gael councillor Mark Duffy is the only Mayo politician set to contest the upcoming Seanad elections.
The Ballina based councillor won two local elections as an Independent before running for the Dáil as a Fine Gael candidate.
It comes as Ballyglass native Paddy Burke has decided not to seek re-election following over 30 years in the Seanad, while Lisa Chambers has also confirmed she is to take a step back from politics.
The deadline for nominations to the various vocational panels closed yesterday (Wednesday, January 8).
