It has been reported that TV personality Grainne Seoige will next week file nomination papers towards running for Fianna Fáil in Galway West at the next general election.
Retiring Fianna Fáil veteran Éamon Ó Cuív revealed to the Irish Independent he was asked for advice by the presenter about taking over his role in the Dáil.
“She said she would be seeking the nomination. She is definitely interested in running for the party,” Mr Ó Cuív told the Irish Independent.
“She is a native speaker and comes from a very Fianna Fáil background.” “Whoever is picked by the great Fianna Fáil party, I will absolutely be backing.
“There are 500 members in Galway West and I completely trust them, as I have done for 35 years, as I hope they have trusted me,” the party stalwart added
