Could Michael Flatley be Ireland's next president?
Michael Flatley has been approached by 'people in the know' about a potential run for the Aras, the dance star has said. Flatley, who is best known for his internationally successful shows such as Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, said that he had not yet made a decision about whether to run for president but did not rule himself out of the contest. 'But I have been approached by some very weighted individuals, people in the know. It's certainly not something that I have made any decision on but it does get frustrating when you see the hardworking Irish taxpayer working his heart out and having no say in things,' Flatley said.

Joe Soap for president
Sir, – I wonder if the people of Ireland would like an ordinary Joe Soap as president. Somebody like me, for instance. I am not well known. I am not a member of any party. My achievements in life are extremely modest. I am not very articulate. I can't write for nuts. I have no grand messages for the people of Ireland. I am neither rich nor poor, though closer to poor. READ MORE I can't imagine anything I would do or say as president would offend any ordinary person like myself. I would continue to live in my modest home. The Áras could be converted into apartments for poor people. And 90 per cent of my salary would go to community groups. I would receive foreign dignitaries in my home as I receive all guests and visitors (I make a mean lemon cake). Don't all trample over each other in your rush to nominate me. – Yours, etc, TOM KELLY, Broadstone, Dublin 7.
