The reports suggest the Deputy could be looking to help Fianna Fáil make gains in the Midlands-North-West constituency.
A midlands TD says reports of him considering a seat in European Parliament are "pure speculation."
It follows reports from the Irish Examiner which suggest Laois Offaly Deputy Barry Cowen is considering running in next year's elections.
Senators Lisa Chambers, Malcom Byrne and Niall Blaney have also been linked with moves, as Fianna Fáil attempts to make gains in the Midlands-North-West constituency, where it doesn't currently have a representative.
