The former Late Late Show king has yet to confirm whether or not he will run for the Aras but as it stands he’s already fast becoming the No.1 choice with punters.Labour candidate Michael D Higgin’s lead appears to be slipping with Paddy Power now placing him just slightly ahead of Gay in the betting at 5/4. Meanwhile Gay Mitchell and Mary Davis have drifted right out to 3/1 and 7/1.Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power told Bettingpro: “Considering Gay has yet to make his position clear the betting has really bowled us over. Today alone one punter placed €700 on Gay at 3/1. At this stage punters have definitely nailed their colours to the mast!” Next Irish President 5/4 Michael D.Higgins 9/4 Gay Byrne 3/1 Gay Mitchell 7/1 Mary Davis18/1 Brian Crowley22/1 Dana Rosemary Scallon25/1 Martin McAleese25/1 Eamon O'Cuiv25/1 Sean Gallagher Read our Paddy Power review Get your £250 free bet at Paddypower Like Like Post to wall 221 Reads All Political Betting News Recent Political Betting Articles Ireland to ditch the Euro?07 Dec 2011Ireland could be forced to the polls in 2012 to hold a referendum about ditching the Euro and it is Irish General Election betting - Fianna Fail now joint favourites06 Dec 2011Fianna Fail have gained support after an unpopular budget from Fine Gael Minister for Finance Micha Irish Government 2/1 to push legal age of drinking to 2124 Nov 2011Paddy Power have opened betting on whether or not the Irish Government will bring in new legislatio Michael D Higgins 5/2 to make South Africa the First State Visit01 Nov 2011Michael D Higgins is the new Irish President and he looks set to visit either South Africa, Britain Next Irish President - bookies pay out!28 Oct 2011Bookies Paddy Power this evening paid out over €350,000 to punters who backed Michael D Higgins to Irish government to sell Aer Lingus to Etihad Airways?17 Oct 2011The Irish government's shares in Aer Lingus look set to be the first state asset to be sold to furn More Stories Recent Articles Dalian Shide v Liaoning Hongyun live stream preview26 May 2012Tenth plays host to eighth in the Chinese Super League on Sunday with Dalian Shide taking on Liaoni Monaco Grand Prix Betting – Webber on pole after Schumacher demoted26 May 2012Red Bull’s Mark Webber is the 13-8 favourite with Coral bookmakers for Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix.
