Hanafin not ruling out move to the Seanad

MARY HANAFIN, the outgoing Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport, is not ruling out a move into the Seanad or the idea of running again for the Dáil saying politics is in her blood.

She said she always sees herself in public life and joked she might think about running for the Dáil again if, perhaps, the new government collapses in 18 months.

“Public service is in my bones, politics is in my blood,” she said.
