There are several threads on this but this is just to mark who actually has declared and of those that are non runners if they are backing anyone.

[Rebelman]

If there are errors in the above i will edit accordingly as obviously most of the undeclared will be non runners but i'm not sure if they have announced their intentions yet.

[Keith-M]

I beleve Michael Twee has also ruled himself out.

[Rebelman]

looks more and more like a deputy leader contest only

[jerryp]

Both Seán Sherlock and Kathleen Lynch have ruled themselves out in the Evening Echo.

[Insider2007]

Now that Broughan is out, Gilmore is unlikely to be challenged.

[Rebelman]

Sen. Michael McCarthy is also backing Burton for deputy leader.

[Defeated Romanticist]

Emmet Stagg is backing Gilmore

[The Earl of Desmond]

How boring - even FG managed a contest when we were apparently on our death bed.

[Rebelman]

this is fairly pathetic out of the labour party a contest would do them the world of good, there were 4 candidates the last time !!
