Conservative campaigner Maria Steen faces difficulty securing a presidential nomination after three additional Independent TDs indicated they are unlikely to support her. Steen currently has the backing of 10 Oireachtas members but needs 20 nominations to qualify for the ballot. The substantial number of undecided stakeholders underscores a limited pool of available candidates and complicates the nomination landscape. The shortfall in endorsements significantly hampers Steen's ability to reach the required threshold. A WhatsApp channel is offered to provide ongoing updates about developments and endorsement statuses.
