Hanafin ready to lead ‘renewed’ Fianna Fáil — if they will have her

MARY HANAFIN says she is ready to lead Fianna Fáil — if they will have her.

Launching her campaign for the leadership in Dublin yesterday, Ms Hanafin said she would love to lead a renewed and proud Fianna Fáil party that encouraged young people and women to take part.

“Politics is my life. Fianna Fáil is my life. I devote all of my time and energy to it. I don’t have anything else,” said Ms Hanafin, who also suggested Fianna Fáil did not do enough to show women it was on their side.
