The party is targeting a seat in Kildare South for Senator Mark Wall.

The Labour parliamentary party think-in continues in Athy today, ahead of the beginning of the new Oireachtas term tomorrow.

The meeting, at the Clonard Court, is being attended by the party's 7 TDs, and four Senators - Kildare's Mark Wall among them.

Last night, the party launched its Renters’ Rights Bill which it says will redress the balance of power in the rental market.

Today, it is discussing sustainability challenges and opportunities, post Covid, and has launched a policy document on a new deal for towns and villages.
