Bruton expected to publicly back FG candidate
Members of the Bruton family have been canvassing for Shane McEntee but the EU Ambassador to Washington has yet to come out and publicly encourage voters to support the Fine Gael candidate.
Although Mr Bruton is believed to be highly conscious of his present apolitical position, it is understood he will break his silence on the election in an interview in a local newspaper next week, just days before polling day on March 11.
