Election boost for Labour as Moynihan Cronin runs

THE Labour party received a welcome boost, at the weekend, with the decision of sitting Labour TD in Kerry South, Breda Moynihan Cronin, to contest the next general election.

Last October, she announced she would be retiring from public life after the next election, due to ill-health, but she has changed her mind.

‘‘In recent times, I have returned to full health and am happy to say that I feel fit and well. My health is back 110 per cent,’’ she said.
