Troy 121 to be next fianna fil leader

With an election looking like it’s going to be sooner rather than later, BoyleSports have reported another major move for Westmeath TD, Robert Troy to become the next Leader of Fianna Fáil.

Troy has been supported into 12/1 from 33/1 following a large bet of €300 placed on the Westmeath native at 33/1 in a BoyleSports Dublin city centre shop on Monday evening.

Currently, Cork native and Fianna Fáil’s Spokesperson on Finance, Michael McGrath is the favourite at 5/2 to replace current party leader, Michael Martin.

Mayo native, Dara Calleary is next in the betting at 7/2 with John McGuinness relatively easy to back at 5/1.

Éamon Ó'Cuív is next in the betting at 6/1 with Niall Collins available at 8/1. Senator Thomas Byrne is probably a bit short priced at 9/1 whilst the aforementioned Robert Troy is next in line at 12/1.

Liam Glynn, BoyleSports’ spokesperson said: “Robert Troy is certainly building up a high profile in the past few months and with recent appearances on TV3’s Tonight with Vincent Browne the Westmeath politician has caught the attention of the Irish public.”

He added “Troy, who is currently Fianna Fáil’s Spokesperson on Children, was as big as 66/1 in January to become the next leader of Fianna Fáil and is now a major contender for the role having been supported into 12/1. He currently poses a massive five figure liability for BoyleSports should he land the role.”
