The head of the Royal College of Nursing is stepping down to try and become an MP in the General Election.
Pat Cullan will be seeking nomination to stand for Sinn Fein in Fermanagh & South Tyrone.
The Irish Republican party don't take their seats in Westminster.
In a statement issued by the party, Pat Cullen said she has been in contact with her employers at the Royal College of Nursing to inform them that she has allowed her name to go forward to a selection convention being held in the constituency this week.
She said it has been the “honour of her life” to have served in the RCN and to “provide leadership every day to hundreds of thousands of hardworking nurses and healthcare staff who always prioritise the delivery of high-quality care to patients.”
