A significant group of Fianna Fáil TDs is urging Michael Moynihan to run in order to block Seán Ó Fearghaíl and John McGuinness from securing the Ceann Comhairle position.
Michael Lowry stated that nominating an Independent for Ceann Comhairle 'will guarantee stability and made political sense' in light of other parties' hesitation to join the government.
The political arithmetic suggests that it is in the interest of both Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil to appoint an Independent member, reflecting government and opposition numbers.
Despite past disagreements, Fine Gael is expected to support Ms. Murphy's candidacy for Ceann Comhairle, but no final decision has been announced.
