The GAA meets Westminster.

The UK General Election is due to take place this May and a former All-Ireland winner with Armagh is looking to take a seat. And he'll be sitting in it too should he win it.

Justin McNulty has lodged nomination papers with the SDLP with a view to contesting for the seat in the Newry and Armagh constituency.

It's a tough ask. The SDLP have fallen out of fashion since Sinn Féin moved into the mainstream following the Good Friday Agreement.

Sinn Féin's Conor Murphy has held the seat since 2005 but he is stepping this down this year. Should he win the seat, McNulty's biggest opponent will be Sinn Féin's Mickey Brady.

McNulty managed Laois for four years between 2010 and 2013, where he achieved good results in the League and brought the team to an All-Ireland quarter-final in 2012, but alienated some players, notably Colm Begley, with his defensive style of play.
