Call on Ó Cuív to clarify presidential bid intentions

Fianna Fáil TD Éamon Ó Cuív has been urged to make a public statement on his potential presidential intentions amid growing speculation he could be set to enter the Áras race.

Party colleague John McGuinness called for the clarification as Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin faced a second backbench revolt against his decision not to run a candidate after another TD said he will back Gavin Duffy’s election bid.
