      How do you formally declare you are running for president of Ireland?

      ‘[How do candidates get nominated?](https://www.electoralcommission.ie/presidential-elections/)

      There are three different methods for a candidate to get nominated:

      Be nominated by at least 20 members of the Oireachtas (this means TDs or Senators).

      Be nominated by at least four local authorities (county or city councils).

      Former or retiring Presidents can nominate themselves if they have only served one term.’

      Doesn’t mention a formal application form like you have to have to run to be a county councillor. Is there an actual formal declaration?

      I mean technically anyone can declare a bid for the presidency. Getting nominated is another thing entirely.

      Which is why I would like to take this opportunity to formally declare my bid for the presidency. I won’t get nominated and honestly that is probably for the best. Tough act to follow and all.

      He has no route to nomination if/when FF nominate a candidate.

      I formally declare that he won’t get the nominations and won’t be on the ballot. He might as well formally declare his bid to play for the ’90s Chicago Bulls, it’s got about the same chance of happening.

      Will he be savaged by the media like the other fella??

      What is this lads deal? And why does he think he’d fare any better with a presidential campaign than he did when he was running for council?

      Is this the ‘Let’s session through the recession’ guy?

      Well **** it if this lad is at it I might as well give it a go.

      Does anyone have the number for Morning Ireland?

      Do I get an article if I announce Im running? I have as much relevance as this guy, just not the posh boy connections

      He is a right wing tik tok grifter who came nowhere near getting elected in 2024, he ran in the LE and GE and was roundly and comprehensively rejected by the electorate

      This is a farce and the BP know what they’re doing

      Another chancer and grifter who hasn’t a clue what the role is.

    11. If this fella told me it was raining I’d put my head out the window to check

      This guy is a self-serving grifter. It’s really fascinating to watch the different facets of the Irish right try to be the lightning rod for some kind of movement that is just never going to coalesce around them. We have a half dozen wannabe Nigel Farages and Donald Trumps just hoping their brand of dogma will be the thing that galvanises the Irish people into the ideological conservatives they KNOW we are somehow.

      Comments below being like “but his brand of anti-immigration hyper-capitalist neoliberalism is so REASONABLE compared to the Conor McGregor supporters and the literal neo-Nazis” without any engagement in the fact that most Irish people don’t have any particularly strong or committed right wing ideological drive at all.

      “I won’t come last” is right wing code for “fund ME, I’m going to be important someday”. Let’s not thanks.

      I’d love some journalist to snoop into the wealth they have accumulated and where his wife’s money comes from……then you’d get THE GENERAL idea neither should be near the aràs

    15. TheYoungWan on

      I would also like to formally declare my bid for the presidency.

      Is that all I’ve to do?

      Great. When do I get the keys?

    16. Jealous-Metal-7438 on

      No way am I voting for a guy who can’t even spell his own name properly

    17. NorthKoreanMissile7 on

      He started a gofundme, raised 30 grand to become president and isn’t going to get nominated and that will be that.

      Some people are such morons.
