Kildare North TD Bernard Durkan has confirmed he intends to stand at the next general election which will make him one the oldest candidates to go before voters.
Mr Durkan, who will turn 76 in March, will be 80 years old if the government runs its full five-year term.
He said: “Yes, I intend to stand.”
The Mayo native was first elected at the 1981 general election almost 40 years ago.
He later lost his seat in February 1982 but was re-elected in November 1982 and at every general election since then with an unbroken record of service.
