Fine Gael MEP Mairead McGuinness says it is only right that there is a high level of competition for the Presidency of Ireland.

Speaking in reaction to Pat Cox's decision to throw his hat into the ring for the party's candidacy, along with Gay Mitchell, Ms McGuinness says it is a fantastic move for the party.

The MEP has embarked on a whistle-stop tour of every constituency in the country in the lead up to the party convention on July 9, when the Fine Gael candidate will be named.
