Bob Geldof mulls run at Aras, saying he is 'flattered' at speculation linking him to presidency

Bob Geldof is considering entering the race for the Áras and describes himself as flattered by speculation linking him to the presidency. Geldof engaged in a 15-minute telephone conversation on Friday with Taoiseach Micheál Martin that focused chiefly on the presidency. The brief call indicates direct engagement between a potential candidate and the head of government. A potential Geldof candidacy would introduce a high-profile public figure into the presidential contest and could shape public attention, political responses, and early campaign dynamics. Formal decisions on running and any declarations remain pending.
