Party pushing for ‘nominating caucus’ at Fingal County Council and plans to make similar requests at five other local authorities
Fingal County Councillor Ellen Troy, of Aontú, has written to fellow councillors seeking to co-ordinate an approach to nominating a presidential candidateproposing the creation of a “nominating caucus” that could help potential candidates to get on the ballot paper in the election to succeed President
However, Mr Tóibín said on Tuesday that while Aontú is “still looking to provide a pathway through the Oireachtas”, this is “proving difficult”. She said Ms Connolly and Ms McGuinness are “able candidates” but it will be a “very one-dimensional campaign” if it consists of only these two candidates.
