RCN Chief Pat Cullen Steps Down to Pursue Sinn Féin MP Role
Cullen aims to represent Fermanagh and South Tyrone in the upcoming UK general election, focusing on public service funding and opposing Tory cuts.
- Pat Cullen has led the Royal College of Nursing since 2021, guiding it through significant strike actions.
- She is seeking Sinn Féin's nomination for the Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituency.
- Cullen's decision follows Sinn Féin MP Michelle Gildernew's move to run for the European Parliament.
- The Fermanagh and South Tyrone seat is the UK's most marginal, with a narrow 57-vote difference in the last election.
- The RCN is now searching for a permanent replacement for Cullen.
