Description

Despite all the talk over the summer, the names that came and went, the speculation and supposition – there is still only one name confirmed for the presidential race.


Catherine Connolly, who launched her candidacy early with the support of Labour, the Soc Dems and others will be on the ballot paper.


She will be joined by other presidential hopefuls – that much is certain – but who?


Today in The Irish Times Pat Leahy reports that Fianna Fáil may have found its candidate.


On today's podcast political correspondent Ellen Coyne looks at GAA legend Jim Gavin's potential candidacy, why Fine Gael picked Heather Humphreys over Sean Kelly, and whether the independents pushing for a place on the ballot have a real shot.


Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Declan Conlon
