Hazel Chu says numbers 'aren't there' for her to be elected to Seanad

Ms Chu declined to comment on the row.
Sinn Féin announced this week that it is asking its 41 TDs and Senators to vote for Billy Lawless, a former Senator and Galway native who ran a chain of bar restaurants in Chicago.
The party cited his work with the diaspora and support for extending the right to vote in presidential elections to Irish people abroad and in the North while also saying it would support Coalition candidates or those who intend to take the Government whip.
Ms Chu said she’s “grateful” that Sinn Féin gave her consideration but said their decision to back Mr Lawless is “fair” given that she was seen as a Government member.
