Independent Maureen O’Sullivan eyes ceann comhairle role

Dublin Central Independent TD Maureen O’Sullivan looks likely to seek the position of ceann comhairle on Thursday.

Ms O’Sullivan held a meeting with her supporters last night about the role and will make her decision public today.

She said she wanted to consult with her team who helped her get re-elected and claimed it “would not be right” to stop her name going forward for the election.
