Today I can officially confirm my decision to seek a nomination as an Independent candidate for the 2018 Presidential Election. It is my intention to seek a nomination from four local authorities pursuant to Article 12 of the Constitution.
I am heartened by the fact that motions to nominate me as a candidate have been formally submitted in ten separate local authorities, since the signing yesterday of the Presidential Election Order by Minister Eoghan Murphy.
My focus now is to meet and speak with Councillors to seek their support and to listen to their views about the type of leadership they wish to see from the Presidency over the next seven year .
