Following increasing speculation that Miriam O’Callaghan may indeed run for President of Ireland in this year’s election, the broadcaster and journalist has announced that she will not be entering the race for the Áras.
In December, O’Callaghan was believed to at the top of a Fianna Fáil wish list as the party’s official candidate for the upcoming Presidential election.“As a journalist, I’m much more comfortable reporting on stories than being at the centre of them,” she began. “Out of respect to them, and to our serving President, I have always declined to engage in those discussions. However, given the recent resurgence of speculation, I want to state that I will not be a candidate in an upcoming Presidential election.”
