It follows the decision by Independent TD Mattie McGrath last night NOT to nominate David Norris.

Senator Norris and Dana Rosemary Scallon will now compete for support from a number of councils – they need four to back them and David Norris already has Fingal.

Today, councillors in Laois and Carlow will discuss both candidates, while Roscommon will consider Ms Scallon, and South Dublin will consider Senator Norris.

Tomorrow, the pair will compete for support in Waterford.

Senator Norris will be discussed by Cork County and Dublin City, while councillors in Donegal, Westmeath, Cavan and Longford consider Ms Scallon.

Kilkenny will decide on Wednesday.
