The former Dragon’s Den star has been rumoured to be entering the race, but today he confirmed he will be going up against current President Michael D Higgins.
Announcing the new on his Twitter page, Gavin wrote:
“Good morning. Just to let you know after some speculation I confirm that I am seeking a nomination from four local authorities to contest the Presidential Election.

“I have accepted an Invitation to speak to @WaterfordCounci this Tuesday at 4pm,” he added.
It comes after reports that Sean Gallagher, also a former Dragon’s Den star, is running for the presidency again.
Sean was the lead candidate in the 2011 election, but after a Prime Time slot on RTE where a “bogus tweet” was read out, he lost out to Michael D Higgins.
