As a result of the developing Covid-19 situation, the Labour Party has decided to cancel the remaining two party leadership contest hustings that were to be held this Thursday, March 12th, in Galway, and on Saturday, March 21st, in Dublin.
Tipperary TD Alan Kelly is contesting the race to succeed Brendan Howlin as Labour Party leader as is Dublin TD Aodhan O Riordain. A number of hustings have already taken pace.
The party will examine the possibility of holding an online husting as a replacement.
Ballot papers will be posted to eligible members at the end of next week, and the close of poll remains Friday, April 3rd, at 12 noon.
