Dana & Gay to make a late, late entry to Presidential race?

RTE is carrying a story with regard to speculation that Fianna Fail have attempted to persuade former RTE Presenter, Gay Byrne, to enter the Race to the Aras. Whilst Fianna Fail has refused to speculate, the former presenter refused to comment on the matter during an interview on RTE 2FM. The news comes a day after it emerged that Dana Rosemary Scallon was considering seeking nomination to enter the race.
