Howlin considering running for labour party leadership

Brendan Howlin has hinted he will make a decision on whether to run for Labour Party leadership "in the next day or two". The Public Expenditure Minister says he will be making a decision on what role he will play in the reform of the party. He also paid tribute to outgoing leader Eamon Gilmore - and said the change of leader will strengthen the party. When asked if he was making a leadership pitch, Minister Howlin said he would make a decision in the near future. "There will be a team of people - and that's every member of the parliamentary party, every consistency organisation - who collectively have to be part of the reform" he said. "So I'll be part of that; what role I'll play, I'm going to decide in the next day or two" he added.
