"She said she would be seeking the nomination. She is definitely interested in running for the party," Mr Ó Cuív told the Irish Independent.
"I explained to her how it works," Mr Ó Cuiv said, adding that she undoubtedly had popular appeal, but Fianna Fáil would undoubtedly be running two candidates in the five-seat constituency and aiming to win seats for both.
"There are two considerations in the candidate selection - gender and geography," he said. "These things will be taken into account in picking a candidate in the city area and one in the county."
"Whoever is picked by the great Fianna Fáil party, I will absolutely be backing. There are 500 members in Galway West and I completely trust them, as I have done for 35 years."
