Fianna Fáil is continuing to weigh up whether to run a candidate in this year's presidential election, with a decision not expected before early next month.
Thus far, there are only two candidates in the presidential field with the required support to be on the ballot — Fine Gael's Mairead McGuinness and independent TD Catherine Connolly — with Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin yet to decide who they will put forward, if anyone.
