Nash’s decision not to contest for the leadership increases the likelihood that Dublin Bay North TD Aodhán Ó Ríordáin would seek a nomination. Nash and Ó Ríordáin were both senators until their re-election to the Dáil earlier this month and were seen as unlikely to run against one another. “I don’t believe they’d be compromised, but they may very well be diluted, and that is my fear, as I say. It took four years to regain the trust and confidence of the people whose trust and confidence I lost in the 2016 election and it is no small thing to be able to command that trust and confidence again. And there was a lot of hard work and that trust I think has been rebuilt. I don’t want in any way to undermine that,” he said.
The deputy said that he has had “huge encouragement” to run but he made the decision not to run after “a lot of consultation”.
Great picture. Between the two of them they have correctly identified the number of TDs they have lol
There's not much to lead in all fairness....
In other words, Kelly is the new leader. Ho hum.
Give to Alan Kelly please labour, we could do with a laugh
