Independent Ireland open to talking to Holohan and Flatley should they seek presidential nominations
Independent Ireland is open to talking to former chief medical officer (CMO) Tony Holohan and Irish dancing star Michael Flatley , should they seek nominations from Oireachtas members to enter the presidential election , party leader Michael Collins has said. Meanwhile, former Fianna Fáil minister Mary Hanafin, who has expressed an interest in running herself, said at the weekend it would be 'an insult' to the office of the presidency if her party does not run a candidate . Last week saw the presidential election race heat up. The first declared candidates – former European Commissioner and Fine Gael MEP Mairead McGuinness and Independent TD Catherine Connolly – emerged in the battle to succeed President Michael D Higgins. READ MORE [ Mairead McGuinness leads the field in a list of potential presidential election candidates, poll shows Opens in new window ] A report in the Irish Mail on Sunday suggested that Mr Holohan is preparing to launch a bid to become president. The newspaper quoted him as neither confirming or denying this. Last night, Mr Holohan, who became the public face of the State's response to the Covid-19 pandemic, told The Irish Times: 'I have nothing further to add to this story as yet'. Separately Lord of the Dance star Mr Flatley did not rule himself out of seeking a nomination to run for the presidency. Mr Flatley suggested on RTÉ Radio 1 that he may run 'if I thought that I could be of benefit to the Irish people' . Those wishing to secure a place on the presidential election ballot paper must secure nominations from 20 Oireachtas members or four local authorities. Independent Ireland leader Mr Collins expressed an openness to hearing from Mr Holohan and Mr Flatley should they approach his party seeking nominations. Independent Ireland have four TDs and Mr Collins said 'those four votes could be vital to some candidate'. He said: 'We haven't signed for anybody as of yet.' He said the party had already met three individuals in relation to the presidency – businessman Declan Ganley, Ms Connolly, and another person who wants to remain private for now. Mr Collins said: 'We'd be open to meeting everyone that wants to have a discussion with us' while 'they have to have a realistic chance' and prove they have 16 other votes. Fianna Fáil minister for Public Expenditure Jack Chamber's said he was not aware of any engagements between his party and Mr Holohan when asked about the former CMO on RTÉ radio. He also said Fianna Fáil was 'assessing its options' on the presidential election when asked if he agreed with the view expressed by Ms Hanafin at the Patrick MacGill Summer School that it would be 'an insult' to the office of the presidency if her party did not contest the election. She told those present: 'I firmly believe that the largest party of the country, which is the largest at local level, largest at national level, should be running'. Ms Hanafin has made clear her desire to run for Fianna Fáil but is yet to receive public support from senior party figures. Mr Chambers said Fianna Fáil is listening to its members and will make a decision on the presidential election in early autumn.

Mairead McGuinness leads in presidential election poll but public imagination yet to be caught
Fine Gael 's Mairead McGuinness leads the field in a list of potential presidential election candidates, according to the latest Irish Times/Ipsos B&A opinion poll, though the results show nobody has yet caught the public imagination. Asked who they would probably vote for in the presidential election, 14 per cent of respondents named Ms McGuinness, who secured her party's nomination this week after emerging as the only potential candidate. The two most popular choices in the poll were 'none of the names so far appeal to me' on 18 per cent, and 'not sure' on 20 per cent. Ms McGuinness is followed by Independent TD Catherine Connolly , who announced her campaign this week, on 9 per cent, and Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald on 8 per cent. Former taoiseach Bertie Ahern is on 5 per cent, while Taoiseach Micheál Martin was nominated by 4 per cent of respondents. Fianna Fáil is yet to put forward a candidate. Other potential candidates – including Conor McGregor, Cynthia Ní Mhurchú, Éamon Ó Cuív, Fintan O'Toole, Frances Black, Gerry Adams, Mary Hanafin, Michelle O'Neill, Mike Ryan and Peter Casey – registered at between 1 and 3 per cent. A number of other potential candidates – including Declan Ganley, Peter Power, Seán Gallagher and Tom Clonan – all registered less than 1 per cent. [ Irish presidency poll reveals just how tuned out of the process people are ] [ Who is Mairead McGuinness, the early front-runner in the presidential race? Opens in new window ] Voters are almost evenly divided on whether they would like the next president to be a current or former politician, or someone from a non-political background. Among those who expressed a view, 43 per cent said they would prefer a politician, with 41 per cent saying they would like a non-politician. Six months after the Government was formed, voters were also asked about how they thought Ministers were performing. The top performer was Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe , with almost half of voters (48 per cent) saying he was doing a 'good job'. Just over a quarter (26 per cent) said he was doing a poor job, with a similar number stating they were 'not sure'. Mr Donohoe's numbers give him a 'net positive' rating of 22 points, putting him far ahead of most of his colleagues. The poll also asked voters their choices for the next leaders of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Sinn Féin. Mr Donohoe was the clear favourite to succeed Simon Harris as Fine Gael leader, with 29 per cent of all voters favouring him, ahead of 12 per cent for Helen McEntee and 8 per cent for Jennifer Carroll MacNeill. Among Fine Gael voters, 50 per cent nominate Mr Donohoe as their choice. Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan is the favourite choice of all voters to be the next leader of Fianna Fáil (16 per cent), narrowly ahead of Jack Chambers and Darragh O'Brien. Almost a third (32 per cent) of Fianna Fáil voters prefer Mr O'Callaghan. Pearse Doherty is regarded as the clear front-runner to be the next Sinn Féin leader, with the backing of 28 per cent of all voters, and 42 per cent among Sinn Féin voters. The worst performer in the poll was Minister for Housing James Browne , whom 59 per cent of voters said was doing a poor job and has a net negative rating of 44 points. Neither the Taoiseach nor the Tánaiste were included in the ministerial ratings, as their satisfaction ratings were recorded elsewhere in the poll , reported last Thursday. The poll was conducted among a representative sample of adults aged 18 years and upwards across 120 sampling points throughout all constituencies. The Irish Times/Ipsos B&A series is conducted through face-to-face sampling; personal in-home interviewing took place on July 14th and 15th. The number of interviews conducted was 1,200. The accuracy is estimated at plus or minus 2.8 per cent.

FactFind: What happened when Mairead McGuinness voted against EU refugee rescue missions in 2019?
A PRESIDENTIAL RACE always brings up political choices from candidates' pasts, and Fine Gael's Mairead McGuinness, who announced her candidacy this week, is no exception. McGuinness' 2019 vote against an EU Parliament resolution to resume search and rescue efforts for shipwrecked refugees trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea is one of the choices that's likely to come up during the campaign. It was a non-binding motion , with no costs or legislation attached to it, but its proponents had hoped it would put pressure on the European Commission and member states to do more to save people trying to cross the Mediterranean. Its rejection was met with outrage among the public, civil society organisations and those MEPs who had voted for it. The vote In October 2019, MEPs narrowly voted down the proposal to provide vessels for more search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean. At the time, Europe had been grappling with a political crisis over how to handle large numbers of people fleeing the Middle East and the African continent. There were 1,885 people reported dead or missing in the Mediterranean in 2019, according to the Missing Migrants Project run by the UN's International Organisation for Migration. The EU had until then carried out a number of different operations that aimed to prevent people seeking refuge in Europe from drowning, including operations Sophia and Triton . But a new conservative government in Italy and mounting anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe meant the issue became one of political, rather than purely humanitarian, concern. Italy and Greece had been receiving the majority of refugees, which led to friction among the member states over how those people would be housed and where. That was the political context in which Fine Gael's four MEPs, including McGuinness, voted against the resolution alongside their European People's Party (EPP) colleagues in the parliament. The vote came after an EU-wide search, rescue and anti-human-trafficking operation had come to an end. It also took place on the same day that 39 Vietnamese people were found dead in the back of a lorry in Essex, southeast England – something that MEPs later suggested emotionally charged the debate on Europe's search and rescue missions. The failed resolution had called on EU member states to 'enhance proactive search and rescue operations by providing sufficient vessels and equipment specifically dedicated to search and rescue operations and personnel, along the routes where they can make an effective contribution to the preservation of lives'. It also called for member states 'to step up their efforts in support of search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean'. McGuinness and her fellow Fine Gael MEPs – Maria Walsh, Sean Kelly and Frances Fitzgerald – faced heavy criticism from opposition politicians after the resolution fell just two votes short of being passed. Fellow Irish MEPs – Green Party members Ciaran Cuffe and Grace O Sullivan, Sinn Féin's Martina Anderson and Matt Carthy, and Independents Luke 'Ming' Flanagan and Mick Wallace – all voted in favour of the resolution. Advertisement No votes were recorded for Independent Clare Daly, DUP MEP Dianne Dodds, the Alliance Party's Naomi Long, or Fianna Fáil's Billy Kelleher. The vote marked a shift in EU policy towards asylum seekers. The bloc has since moved away from search and rescue operations and has increasingly treated irregular immigration as a security issue, striking controversial deals with third countries to prevent people from making the crossing from the Middle East and North Africa. Criticism The move to halt search and rescue options was widely condemned by NGOs, as well as opposition politicians. 'Rescuing people from drowning is just that: rescuing people from drowning. There is no nuance to it or for and against,' the Irish Refugee Council said following the vote. At the time, Sinn Féin's Marina Anderson said it was 'a matter of deep shame that four Fine Gael MEPs actively voted to maintain a 'fortress Europe' status quo that has seen thousands of men, women and children drown simply for seeking sanctuary. 'While Fine Gael wax lyrical about the 'four freedoms' of the EU, including the freedom of movement, they are ready to side with their right-wing EU colleagues to ensure these values don't extend to those fleeing destitution, war and persecution.' Labour MEP Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, who was a senator at the time, said: 'Reports that far right and ultra conservative politicians in Europe were applauding the result in the European parliament just says it all. 'During the European Elections the Taoiseach called on voters to 'send our best team' to the European Parliament. This is what they have decided to do.' He also said that it was 'particularly dispiriting when candidates from centre right parties pretend to have progressive politics at election time, but revert to type when lives are at stake'. McGuinness' defence Speaking to RTÉ News at the time, McGuinness defended her vote and said the provision would have required Frontex, the EU border agency, 'to share information with all ships in the region, including traffickers'. McGuinness said that would not have been acceptable and that if the resolution had passed, it would have 'made the situation worse'. 'We had concerns about the actual content of it, not about the objective,' she said. 'A lot of people are just reading what is on social media without looking at the facts of the situation. I will not allow anyone challenge my ethics or morality around saving lives. It is for political gain,' she said. In an interview on RTÉ's Morning Ireland at the time, Maria Walsh also pointed to the Frontex part of the resolution and said sharing information about 'our most vulnerable when they are most at risk is not the way to do it'.
