Francis Fitzgerald on running for the Áras: ‘Everyone in Ireland thinks they could be president’
The MEP will not contest the next European elections but she refused to rule out being the Fine Gael candidate for the presidency
Frances Fitzgerald has not ruled out a possible run for the presidency in 2025.
The former Fine Gael minister and current MEP announced her intention not to contest the next European elections last month.
In her statement at the time, she did not explicitly say she was retiring, but did reflect on her career in politics.
Asked last week if she was finished with electoral politics for good, Fitzgerald said she “wouldn’t rule out anything”.
