"Politicians are human too; we give all we can for as long as we can but time catches up on us all. As I get older, my health and energy levels are not what they were and I know going forward that I would not be able to give the job the time and commitment it deserves," Ms Humphreys said.
"I have been a public representative for the past 21 years, as a Councillor, TD and Minister. I have been fortunate to serve in Cabinet for over 10 years across a range of different ministries. Whether it was leading the 2016 Commemorations; supporting businesses through the Covid-19 pandemic... I have always enjoyed the job and I have always looked forward to coming to work every day," she said.
"We will retain our seat in Cavan-Monaghan and push very strongly for a second Fine Gael seat in this constituency. I will work day and night with our candidates to achieve this goal so that we can return Simon Harris to the office of Taoiseach," she emphasized.
"His work-rate and commitment is extraordinary. Under his leadership, there is a new level of engagement and support for our party that we haven’t seen in a long time," Ms Humphreys remarked on Simon Harris's leadership.
