“I welcome the announcement that Sinn Fein are backing my candidacy for president of Ireland. I thank Mary Lou McDonald for her leadership, and I’m heartened by their support. I believe the coalition of left, centre-left parties and independents backing my run for president is a welcome change for Irish politics. However, if I am to be successful, I will be a president for all Irish people, of all political persuasion or none. See you on the road.”
