Joan Burton elected Deputy Leader
2007-10-04 19:43:00 Well the new leadership team is now in place following today's election of Joan Burton as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. Congratulations to Joan and indeed commiserations to Jan. Without a doubt the leadership team of Eamonn Gilmore and Joan Burton will need to hit the ground running with the local and European elections not too far away.For the record the result of the contest for Deputy Leader was as follows:Burton: 1480 53.7%O'Sullivan 1276 46.3%The Labour Party now heads into its Conference in Wexford in November in a buoyant mood. Speaking to party members in Waterford recently there certainly is a mood of confidence with new members continuing to join the party. It is important that we capitalise on this renewed interest in the party in the run up to the local elections which will be the first real test of the Labour Party. It will also be the first real test of the leadership of Eamonn Gilmore and Joan Burton.
