More information on the Labour Party candidates is available from their website
Alan Kelly has declared for Tipperary North.
Thanks Nancy. Has a convention been held yet to endorse his candidacy?
Brian O Shea was selected in waterford
Thanks Ian, when was Brian selected?
About a week ago – I dont think that Laois/Offaly and Tipp North have actually had their conventions yet
Suppose I’m cheating here a bit Ian; just including these two as these are cases where the Labour party is planning to only put one candidate before the selection convention, i.e. the selection “seems” to be a foregone conclusion…
…and Whelan was indeed selected at the weekend at a contentious Labour convention in Portlaoise: http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/1213/election.html
Lorraine Higgins also added in Galway East
Thanks for that Ian. What is Lorraine’s background? Is she related to Michael D (in neighbouring Galway West)???
No idea – just going by Eamn Gilmores press release today
I think going by google that her background is in law
According to the Galway Advertiser webpage, Lorraine is “an Athenry-based barrister who ran as an independent candidate in the 2009 Local Elections”. Very interesting selection….
Jack Wall has been selected as well
Meath West, Tipp North and Cavan Monaghan are all this week and I assume (Given Gilmores announcement of 70ish candidates yesterday) there will also be more candidates in various constituencies who will be added on
Cllr Jenny McHugh selected last night in Meath West
Thanks Ian!
Labour websiteand Fionan Sheahan in todays Indo both list Patrick Nulty as a candidate for Dublin West
Thanks Ian! Will add Patrick to Labour lists…
