Seán Kyne (Fine Gael)

They will advocate for themselves in the coming weeks and the Irish people will decide. The processes are laid down in the 1937 Constitution, as I said yesterday, which was voted on by the people. People are free to make up their own minds about who they choose they nominate. A lot of pressure was brought to bear on certain individuals. At least that pressure now ends as the nomination process has now closed. I wish all three candidates the best of luck over the coming weeks. I hope it will be a respectful debate online and in the physical debate that will take place.
