Retired TD for Kerry South Jackie Healy-Rae has said he is "confident" he could get the support for a nomination if he was to run for President.
He said it is definitely something that he is considering, but he has not made a final decision yet.
Mr Healy-Rae stepped down before the last General Election, while his son Michael Healy-Rae won his vacant seat.
Speaking to Radio Kerry, Jackie Healy-Rae said running in the Presidential campaign would be a challenge he would enjoy.
This has to be a joke. I mean I tried listening to this guy on tv when the election was on, as he was supporting his son's campaign. I couldnt understand a word he said. Could you imagine this guy turning up at The White House as our president? We would be a laughing stock.
The rest of the world would look at him in his dresscode and think we were a backwards country. Plus he would need his own personal subtitles so other foreign dignitaries could understand him.
Come on David Norris, youre a highly intelligent man who has championed wonderful campaigns in the past, you are very eloquent and a fantastic conversationalist. Lets see you make the Phoenix Park your home.
