RTÉ presenter Miriam O’Callaghan might consider running in seven years’ time.

O'Callaghan said she felt honoured to have been considered a potential candidate. "I said I wouldn't stand because my youngest is five and I don't want a Euan Blair scenario where one of my kids could be falling out of Wesley with too much Lucozade on them," she told UCD's Connectionsmagazine.

“I did say that if people still like me in seven years, you never know.”
