“I am not ruling it out because I don’t think the issue should even be discussed at this stage.'
Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has added fuel to the rumours that he is going to run for the presidency in 2025.
“We have a tradition here in this country that the presidency only arises within three months of the election. I have been a director of electors for presidential elections.When it was put to him that he had not ruled out the possibility of running for the Áras, Mr Ahern said, “No, but it is not an issue”.
Mr Ahern said that “all I have done is rejoin the group” that he was previously a member of and that he continued to meet members of his former cumman when he was not a member of the party. He added: “Mahon didn’t have any findings against me, but they did say they didn’t accept [that I told] the truth.
