CONOR LENIHAN has confirmed he will NOT be seeking nomination to contest Fianna Fáil’s leadership election, telling RTÉ’s David Davin-Power that having contacted others within the party, too many fellow TDs had already offered their support to other candidates. Lenihan’s withdrawal means that the four currently declared candidates will likely be the only ones to contest Wednesday’s election.
Conor Lenihan
Conor Lenihan is a former TD for the Dublin South West constituency. He is a member of Fianna Fail and was appointed Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs with special responsibility for Overseas Development and Human Rights in 2004. Lenihan failed to get re-elected in 2011, getting eliminated on the 4th count.
