💨 Abstract

Michael Flatley, the 67-year-old creator of "Riverdance," plans to run for the presidency of Ireland. Born in the U.S., Flatley holds Irish citizenship, making him eligible. The largely ceremonial role is currently held by Michael D. Higgins, who cannot run again. Flatley must secure nominations from members of parliament or local councils to officially enter the race.
