Haughey may run for MEP seat
However, there was confusion over whether or not the Taoiseach would back the former taoiseach's son.
Mr Haughey said the Taoiseach had encouraged him and Deputy Owen Ryan to run for Fianna Fáil in Dublin, but sources close to Deputy Ryan indicated last night that Mr Ahern wanted him to run as the sole Fianna Fáil candidate in Dublin. However, Mr Haughey said he would not make a final decision on the Euro race until the Boundary Commission has decided on the number of MEPs Dublin will get. If it is reduced to from a four to a three-seater, Mr Haughey said he would still fancy his chances. "But there are other considerations I will have to take into account. My wife is expecting our fourth baby in January and being in Brussels four days a week could be problematic," Mr Haughey told RTÉ.
