Ciaran Mullooly
Former RTE Midlands correspondent Ciaran Mullooly has scotched rumours that he has been selected to run as a candidate in the next European elections.
Mr Mullooly, who retired in 2021 after 27 years with the State broadcaster, was first mentioned as a potential option for Fianna Fáil this time last year.
At that time sources in the party said Mr Mullooly was approached by Noel Dempsey, a former Fianna Fáil minister, to consider running as a candidate Midlands North-West constituency.
The party has no MEP in the constituency, and only holds two of Ireland's 13 seats.
“I am running for nobody, I have made no decision on it at present. Come back to me after Christmas,” he said when the rumour was put to him.
“I am going to a wedding in the United States and I have no interest in even thinking about it. According to the Daily Mail I am running for Fianna Fáil, perhaps you should ask them about it.”
