Education Minister Norma Foley has hinted that Bertie Ahern may run as a Fianna Fáil candidate for President after she said “time will tell” when asked if she’d back his candidacy.
The senior Fianna Fáil frontbench politician welcomed former three-time Taoiseach, Mr Ahern, back into the party after it was revealed he had rejoined on Wednesday.
Mr Ahern resigned from the party he led to three general election victories in 2012 in the wake of adverse findings of the Mahon Tribunal into irregular planning and payments.
