Nominations for President

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has not yet made a formal decision on how to manage requests from prospective candidates for a nomination to participate in the presidential election.  The following motion was included on the agenda for the Council meeting held on 7th July - "That this Council resolves, under Article 12.4.2 (ii) of Bunreacht na hÉireann, not to exercise its power to nominate a candidate for election to the Presidency”.  However, due to a busy agenda, the motion wasn't reached, and it will now be included on the agenda for the next council meeting on Monday 8th September.  If this motion is passed, no prospective candidates will be invited to address DLR Councillors.  If the motion fails, an alternative method of dealing with requests for nominations will be agreed at the September 8th meeting.
