"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, a conservative campaigner noted for opposing the failed family and care referendums, is pursuing a place on the presidential ballot. The campaign faces significant challenges and is described as likely to be an uphill battle. Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín has assembled at least ten members of the Oireachtas to support her candidacy. The current total of supporters remains below the threshold of twenty Oireachtas nominations required to secure a formal nomination. Additional nominations are needed for Steen to meet the eligibility requirement through Oireachtas support.
