From Labour pains to political gains, former Labour TD and junior minister Kathleen Lynch has hailed her party’s young bloods for winning three seats on Cork City Council by targeting areas with a lapsed party vote.
“We knew where the Labour vote existed and we went out to reconvince those people that we could be trusted and they came through for us," said Ms Lynch.
