Former RTÉ broadcaster and current MEP, Ms Ní Mhurchú, downplayed rumors of a potential run for the Irish presidency, expressing a commitment to her work in Brussels. During an interview on Cork Today, she termed the discussions about her candidacy as "hot air" and emphasized the importance of focusing on substantial issues rather than electoral speculation. She shared that she hasn't engaged in any discussions regarding a run and feels honored by the mention among candidates. Additionally, she highlighted her role as an MEP as a vital contribution to her constituents.
"Number one, I haven't thought about it. Number two, nobody has approached me and I've approached nobody. My thinking on it now is to be quite honest, nothing."
"Because, I think at this stage it's an awful lot of hot air. I appreciate it's a very important job, and I appreciate we're coming into the silly season and people have to be talking about something."
