FG spokesperson to RTÉ, today:

A spokesperson for Fine Gael has said there are no plans to run former PD leader and government minister Michael McDowell as a Fine Gael candidate at the next general election.

He said a newspaper story in today's Irish Daily Mail was speculative and the party would not comment on speculation.

McDowell as prospective future Fine Gael Taoiseach? Can the man's ego resist?
