Midlands TD Slips In Odds To Take Over Fianna Fáil

The Deputy had been ranked at 4th.

A midlands TD has slipped to fifth in the odds to become the next leader of Fianna Fáil.

Laois Offaly Deputy Barry Cowen's odds have fallen from 7/1 to 8/1 in BoyleSports' latest ranking on who's most likely to take over from Micheál Martin.

Michael McGrath has claimed the top spot from Jim O'Callaghan, and sits at 7/4.

Dara Calleary and James Lawless round out the top five.

The latest betting trends have also given the current Fianna Fáil leader and Tanáiste 3/1 odds to become the next EU Commissioner.

Lawrence Lyons, Spokesperson for BoyleSports commented:

"Rumours linking Micheál Martin with the big job in Brussels just won’t go away so we’re taking no chances as more and more believe changes are afoot."
