Irish Businessman Gavin Duffy has confirmed he intends to seek a nomination to contest the Presidential Election.
The Dragons' Den star says he will start his bid to persuade local authorities to support his nomination this week.
Mr Duffy tweeted this morning that he would seek the nomination from four local authorities.
His first port of call will be addressing Waterford Council on Tuesday.
The entrepreneur from Drogheda says if he is successful in securing the backing of the four local authorities he would run the most modern election campaign possible.
Calling for support, he says he would be a President that is not just above politics but is not of politics.
