    There is reasons why she won't be selected, that are known to a lot of FF TDs (journalists too if we're being honest).
    Simply said, if she was chosen, certain papers will suddenly have a field day.

    She has a number of times on Radio said she don't want to run again anyway in a normal election. She wants to sort some other things out beyond politics.
    She has her many pensions (1 for each 4 years) and will retire absolutely comfortably.

    Why would someone from the forthcoming FG & Labour government choose Mary Harney ?

    A labour minister last night said on RTE (Primetime: http://www.rte.ie/player/#v=1057217) that because they called O'Donoghue out, they are being "frozen out" now anyway from any discussions about the position.
    The likelihood is that the job will go to a Green (Sargent?) or a FF man.
