Green Party TD for Waterford, Marc O Cathasaigh, has been formally announced as the party's candidate for the upcoming General Election.
While it was known for time that the former teacher was to seek re-election, the party had not officially confirmed his selection as a candidate.
To mark the official announcement, Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman attended an event at The Granville Hotel in Waterford earlier this week where grass roots members of the party approved his selection.

A two-time Ironman, he is currently the Green Party spokesperson on social protection and the Green Party Whip.
Deputy O Cathasaigh is one of 24 candidates which the party has confirmed it will run in constituencies across the country.
