O'Rourke: FF should not run presidential candidate

Former Fianna Fáil TD and Minister Mary O'Rourke has said she does not think Fianna Fáil should put forward a candidate to run in the presidential election.

It is still unknown whether the party will put forward a candidate.

So far, the MEP Brian Crowley has expressed his interest in the nomination.

Mary O'Rourke said she was not willing to run for the Áras, if asked.

"I'm not interested (in running)…I've just a very interested observer," she said.
