Eamon Ryan has confirmed he will not be voting for his party chairperson Hazel Chu in the Seanad by-election.

Ms Chu entered the race as an Independent candidate yesterday as a late entry after securing nine signatures, seven of which came from her own party, despite the party agreeing it would not field a candidate for the ballot.
