Brian Stanley confirms he will stand as independent in general election to keep Laois seat in headache to Sinn Fein
Briefly

"Having been out around the county over the past three weeks, I have been encouraged by countless people, from various backgrounds, to put my name forward as an Independent and who have pledged their support."
"In the recent past, there has been a sustained attempt by a micro group, with their own agenda, to carry out a campaign of character assassination against me and damage my reputation."
"I will be standing on a platform of progressive republican policies and if elected will be working to improve public services, protect workers and families and address the housing crisis."
