The Irish Presidential Election must take place before November 11 of this year
Fine Gael's Heather Humphreys has finally confirmed that she is giving the Irish Presidential Election "very serious consideration" amid the withdrawal of her party's candidate.
Former EU Commissioner and Fine Gael member Mairead McGuinness was forced to pull out of her bid for President of Ireland this past week. The decision was made due to medical advice after a stay in hospital.
In an interview with the Sunday Independent on August 16, Heather Humphreys said she has been in contact with Ms McGuinness and wished her a full recovery.
