Sinn Féin leader now third favourite in Áras race
BOYLE Sports has revised its betting on who will become the next President of Ireland after Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald refused to rule herself out of the running on Monday.
Following the comments, McDonald has been clipped into 6/1 (from 20/1), making her one of the frontrunners should she choose to put her name forward. Mairead McGuinness remains the even money favourite to replace Michael D. Higgins when his 14-year term ends this year.

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports, said:
“Everyone seems to be keeping their cards close to their chest when it comes to the Áras, but Mary Lou McDonald’s comments came with a hint of U-turn and punters have been quick to react.”
