SF sources indicate McGuinness will be Presidential candidate

Sinn Féin sources on both sides of the border are indicating that Martin McGuinness will be unveiled as their Presidential candidate.

It is understood that the North's Deputy First Minister is still a few short of the required backing of 20 Oireachtas members to make it onto the ticket.

It is expected that the formal announcement will be made following a meeting of the Sinn Fein Ard Comhairle on Sunday.
