His barrister informed the court of Flatley's plans to return to Ireland in two weeks. Flatley, eligible as an Irish citizen, hinted at his presidential ambitions, emphasizing the need for a voice for the Irish people, who he believes are not being heard. The presidential election is expected at the end of October, requiring candidates to secure nominations from either parliament or local authorities.
A material change in circumstances has been announced for Flatley, as he is set to move back to Ireland within the next 14 days to seek nominations for a presidential bid.
Flatley expressed concern that the Irish people do not have a true voice, stating that somebody needs to speak for them amidst their discontent.
The election for the presidency is expected towards the end of October, occurring within 60 days before the term of the outgoing President ends on November 11.
To be eligible for the presidency, candidates must be Irish citizens aged 35 or older, and must secure nominations from either the Irish parliament or local authorities.
