[edit] Template documentation
This documentation is transcluded from Template:Seanad member entry/doc. (edit | history)

This template creates a table entry for a member of Seanad Eireann. It is for use in the articles Members of the 23rd Seanad, Members of the 22nd Seanad, Members of the 21st Seanad etc.

The tables are sortable, so the markup can get a bit complicated; this template simplifies the task.

It should be used in conjunction with {{Seanad member list start}}, which creates the list header.
