"Three candidates have been nominated by parties via the Oireachtas route - Catherine Connolly, Heather Humphreys and Jim Gavin Roscommon, Longford, Cork City, Galway City and Dublin City councils yesterday opted not to nominate anyone Presidential hopefuls pull on the wellies for campaigning at the Ploughing Championships"
"The presidential race has narrowed, with a number of local authorities deciding not to nominate any potential Independent candidates... and presidential candidates are pulling on their wellies, and hopefully leaving the white trousers at home, for a day at the Ploughing."
Three candidates have secured party nominations via the Oireachtas route: Catherine Connolly, Heather Humphreys and Jim Gavin. Several local authorities, including Roscommon, Longford, Cork City, Galway City and Dublin City councils, chose not to nominate any candidates, reducing nomination avenues for potential Independent hopefuls. The narrowing of the presidential race follows those local authority decisions and concentrates contest dynamics around nominated candidates. Presidential hopefuls engaged in grassroots campaigning at the National Ploughing Championships, adopting practical attire for the event and setting aside formal clothing for the day. The campaign trail continues across local and national venues.
