Labour choose two junior ministers for Seanad nominations

Labour has chosen two junior ministers to stand for the upcoming Seanad elections.

Ministers of state Kevin Humphreys and Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, who both failed to get re-elected in the general election, have received the nominations after a party-member postal vote.

Mr Humphreys has been nominated to run for the Administrative panel, while Mr Ó Ríordáin has been nominated for the Industrial and Commercial panel. The party will also endorse Denis Landy, for the Agricultural panel, and Ged Nash, for the Labour panel.
