Donegal TD Padraig MacLochlainn has slammed those who accept Martin McGuinness as Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland but reject the idea of him being President.
The Sinn Féin TD for Donegal North East, has said the “anti-McGuinness rhetoric” is “hypocritical and partitionist”.
Mr McGuinness came third in a Sunday Business Post poll today with 16% support.
David Norris is the favourite to win, with 21%, while Michael D Higgins is in second place on 18%.
Deputy McLaughlin said many commentators are being “two-faced”.
