McGuinness to run in Louth ?

Fine Gael MEP Mairead McGuinness has refused to rule out contesting the next general election in Co Louth.

Speculation about the move has been growing in recent weeks, with Ms McGuinness saying she has already decided against running in South Kildare because it is too far from her home near Ardee.

Speaking to reporters in Dublin this morning, she refused to rule out the possibility of running in Louth, despite the danger that she might unseat her party colleague Fergus O'Dowd.
