Labour in bold two-seat strategy

THE Labour Party has decided to run two candidates in Waterford for the first time in 42 years, despite the imminent retirement of one of its most experienced TDs.

Following the recent decision by Brian O’Shea to retire from the Dáil at the forthcoming general election, Labour made the decision to run a candidate at either end of the county.

The party organisation was last night expected to ratify the candidacies of two local councillors — Dungarvan-based Ciara Conway and Seamus Ryan of Waterford City Council.
