Heather Humphreys on her Presidential campaign. Former minister Heather Humphreys was confirmed last week as the sole nominee for Fine Gael to contest the upcoming Presidential Election; which will take place on 24 October.
Ms Humphreys confirmed a number of weeks ago she would be putting herself forward for the party's contest to select a presidential candidate.
Speaking on the Joe Finnegan Show, Ms Humphreys said she has "decided to go for it".
Furthermore, she said everything changed following Mairead McGuinness' decision to withdraw from the race. Indeed, she wished her very good friend the very best in her recovery.
The former local TD joined Ronan Gargan on the Wider View earlier to discuss the campaign.
