Rabbitte canvasses for SDLP candidates in North

The Labour leader, Pat Rabbitte, is travelling North today to canvass support for the SDLP in next week's Assembly elections.

He joins Mark Durkan on the campaign trail in the North and East Antrim constituencies, to promote candidates Sean Farren and Danny O'Connor.

Mr Rabbitte says he has "high regard" for Mark Durkan and for the tradition of Labour's sister party and said he was glad to lend his support.
