Catherine Connolly has received more support in her bid to become the next President of Ireland.
The Labour party has agreed to back the Independent TD in the race for the Aras.
The decision was taken during a meeting of the Parliamentary Party and it’s Executive Board last night, where Ciarán Ahern was appointed the party’s co-ordinator with Deputy Connolly’s campaign.
The Galway West TD already has the backing of the Social Democrats and People Before Profit.
