Aodhán Ó Ríordáin has said that he will contest the Labour Party leadership, hours after party colleague Alan Kelly launched his campaign for the position

Speaking on RTÉ's Drivetime, Mr Ó Ríordáin said that he will launch his campaign this Friday. The Dublin Bay North TD is being nominated by Ged Nash and Ivana Bacik.

He said:"We have gone from 7% to 4.5%. We need to realise that we have no right to exist. But I believe that the country needs a Labour party."Auction politics needs to be stopped, he said, and instead there needs to be discussion about investment in public services. "We need to find solutions together but we can't cut tax at the same time as promising to deliver public services.

"We don't have a mandate to be in government. We are going to go back to basics and formulate policies," he said.
