Is Conor McGregor really the only person who wants to be President of Ireland?

The election for the next President of Ireland must take place before November 11th. It’s June, so where is the list of Áras hopefuls?

As of now two independents have declared their intention to run, MMA fighter Conor McGregor and former candidate and businessman Peter Casey. They have yet to get local authority approval.

When can we expect the race to get going and what qualities make for an ideal president?

Harry McGee from the Irish Times political team, explains.
