Fianna Fail TDs and Senators are to be urged not to run an internal party candidate in the presidential election.

A special committee comprised of leader Micheal Martin, deputy Eamon O’Cuiv and four other senior members met for under two hours in Leinster House to discuss the party’s position on the race.

Party sources said five opted against running a contender from the rank and file, while Mr O’Cuiv, who has been touted as a potential candidate, was the only one in favour.

Pft. Bertie could have told them that.
