Mon 09 Sep 2008Fianna Fáil MEP Crowley says he would like to run for president
FIANNA FÁIL MEP Brian Crowley has said he would like to run for the presidency in 2011. Mr Crowley, who is co-president of the UEN political group (Union for Europe of the Nations) in the European Parliament, said it would be a huge privilege to represent the people as Uachtarán na hÉireann.
“It is the highest office in the land and it would be great to go for it if the opportunity arose, but there are many other fine candidates coming forward,” said Mr Crowley, who added his first political priority was to run Fianna Fáil’s European election campaign in 2009.
