Miriam O’Callaghan quashes presidency bid speculation

RTÉ broadcaster Miriam O’Callaghan has ruled herself out of the race to contest the presidency of Ireland.

Having repeatedly refused to decline to say she would not stand for election at a charity event on Thursday, Ms O’Callaghan found herself at the centre of a media storm yesterday.

Following media queries from the Irish Examiner and others, the Prime Time presenter took to Twitter to outline her position.
