Ó Fearghaíl, Naughten seek role of Ceann Comhairle

Nominations for the role of Ceann Comhairle in the 33rd Dáil have closed, with Seán Ó Fearghaíl and Denis Naughten in contention for the job.

Yesterday, Social Democrats co-leader Catherine Murphy said she had decided not to put herself forward for the position. "We are also acutely aware that a Ceann Comhairle is not able to do the constituency representation and deliver for people on the ground and that they have to be outside politics, so that is not our focus at this point in time."The Dáil will reconvene for the first time since the election tomorrow at 12pm, and the leaders of Sinn Féin, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are set to be the nominated for the office of Taoiseach tomorrow.

In a statement, Mr Martin said: "This group will co-ordinate meetings with other parties and independents and work to develop agreed policy action to deal with the range of crises facing the country."Solidarity-People Before Profit also held talks with the Social Democrats.

Great choice for Ceann Comhairle 🙄 Why isn't it taken seriously by real Opposition? 'Current' SOFearghail_TD Had deciding vote confirming Eviction Bill! Signed in by another hero Millionaire Midget Mehole D! DenisNaughten 'Brown Envelopes' sticks his nose into everything!

That will be me one day!
