Fianna Fáil TDs are awaiting clear backing from Taoiseach Micheál Martin for former Dublin GAA manager Jim Gavin as a presidential candidate. Several TDs have asked MEP Billy Kelleher to put his name forward for the nomination. Kelleher has not ruled out entering the contest and has left open the possibility of an approach from the party leader. Kelleher stated he would "give it serious consideration" if approached. The party’s final candidate choice may depend on whether Martin publicly supports Gavin or whether alternative candidacies, including Kelleher’s, emerge.
