As Ireland prepares for its presidential election, speculation is rife about potential candidates, including MEP Sean Kelly and Eurovision star Linda Martin. Among others, former Progressive Democrats justice minister Mr. McDowell has indicated he might consider a run, but only if asked. He has taken a cautious stance, acknowledging he would be 81 by the end of one term and would weigh his candidacy against other potential candidates. McDowell emphasized that clarity will emerge over the summer regarding the government's approach and its candidate selection process.
If I was asked to consider running for the presidency by people who are in a position to allow me to be a candidate, I would consider it very, very carefully.
I would consider very, very carefully and see what was likely to be the alternative candidates available to the Irish people.
