He lost his seat at the 2011 general election to party colleague Brendan Griffin. He was subsequently elected to Seanad Éireann as a Senator for the Administrative Panel in April 2011. He was the Fine Gael Seanad Spokesperson on Public Expenditure and Reform.
In September 2012, he made remarks in the Seanad in which he referred to the accidental death of a Garda and claimed a Sinn Féin member had allegedly said "they would have done a much cleaner job". His comments were criticised by the Garda Representatives Association, and by the Sinn Féin Kerry North TD Martin Ferris, who challenged Sheahan to name the person.
In 2014, Sheahan made "anti-Traveller" comments which sparked a controversy in County Kerry. He later denied the misinterpretation of his comment and clarified his stance on the matter of Irish Travellers and Roma communities.
