"Conservative campaigner Maria Steen, who is known for her recent role in pushing back against the failed family and care referendums, is making inroads to appearing on the presidential ballot. But it is likely to be an uphill battle for her."
"Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín said he has brought together at least 10 members of the Oireachtas who will support her bid, but that number still leaves Ms Steen short of the required 20 to secure a nomination."
Maria Steen is a conservative campaigner noted for pushing back against the failed family and care referendums. She is making some inroads toward appearing on the presidential ballot, but faces significant obstacles. The bid is likely to be an uphill battle due to a shortfall in formal support. Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín has assembled at least ten Oireachtas members prepared to back her candidacy. That total still leaves her short of the twenty Oireachtas nominations required to secure a presidential nomination, leaving her campaign without the necessary parliamentary endorsements at present.
