Former GAA captain to run as Fianna Fáil candidate
The two-time All Ireland winner will contest the seat vacated by the former Irish rugby international Jim Glennon, who announced last month that he would not seek re-election.
Mr O’Leary’s candidacy was announced by the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, who acknowledged that while the Dublin All-Star is a newcomer to the political arena, he had made significant contributions to community activity in north county Dublin.
