In an announcement on Monday Mr Sharkey revealed that he fully intends to run for the Aras and he hopes to become Ireland’s first black president.
The Dublin born man who was raised in Donegal, also revealed that he is currently in the process of setting up a team and that he intends to speak with a number of TD’s and councils over the next few months in an effort to seek their nomination.
Mr Sharkey who is also an artist stated that the current homelessness crisis is one of the major reasons as to why he is considering running for the top position in the Aras.
