"It always looked like an outside chance that any of the Independent candidates would get the nod from county councils. But Gareth Sheridan has secured the backing of two local authorities, so he's halfway there. The US-based businessman - who wants to represent the voice of younger Irish citizens - got ahead of the pack by diligently meeting councillors around the country since before the summer."

Gareth Sheridan, a US-based businessman, secured backing from two local county councils, moving him halfway toward the council-based nomination threshold for presidential candidates. He aims to represent the voice of younger Irish citizens. Independent candidates historically faced long odds in obtaining county council nominations. Sheridan advanced his campaign by diligently meeting councillors around the country since before the summer. His early and persistent outreach differentiated him from other hopefuls and yielded tangible local authority support. The two local authority endorsements increase his viability as an Independent presidential contender.
