The President of Ireland looks set to become Michael D. Higgins according to the latest Paddy Power odds
Paddy Power have pushed the odds on Senator David Norris becoming the next President of Ireland out to 6/1 from 5/1 after his appearance on Vincent Browne’s live debate on Tuesday night.
Labour candidate Michael D.Higgin’s on the other hand has shortened to 4/9 from 1/2. Despite being fired with questions from Vincent Browne around his involvement with the IRA, Martin McGuinness’s odds remain stable as the 6/1 second favourite in the race for the Aras.
Fine Gael candidate Gay Mitchell is now 9/1 in the betting, followed by Mary Davis at 10/1, Dragon Sean Gallagher at 33/1 and Dana Rosemary Scallon last at 66/1.
Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power told Bettingpro: “As expected, Vincent gave all the Presidential candidates a good grilling. If our betting is anything to go by Michael D is the man to beat while comeback King David Norris appears to be losing his grip.”
Paddy Power are also quoting 200/1 on TV3’s no-nonsense broadcaster Vincent Browne becoming a future President of Ireland.
