Mick Wallace not ruling out a general election run in Wexford - 'I think I could take votes off everyone'

"Genuinely, I haven't made a decision yet. I don't know what to do. It's probably 50/50, maybe a little less. I might run, but I haven't made that call yet."

"Reflecting on his long-time colleague Clare Daly's announcement, Wallace said: 'It'll be tough enough for her. Paschal (Donohoe) and Mary Lou (McDonald) won't be shifted and it'll be a dog fight for the rest.'"

"If I stood, it would be tough enough here (Wexford) too. I think I could kind of take votes off everybody, rather than one person in part."

"The devastating loss provided a new perspective on everything and as a result, Mr Wallace is not fretting over any election. He says he's currently just quietly mulling things over."
