Former Labour TD Kathleen Lynch set to run again in the next election

Former Labour TD Kathleen Lynch is set to run again in the next election, saying the decision is "clear cut" now that she has recovered from her party's "bruising" 2016 collapse, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith, Political Correspondent.

The former minister of state for disabilities confirmed she will put her name forward to run in the Cork North Central constituency in the coming weeks, and said she has the full backing of Labour headquarters to do so.
