Mr Lowry said he had not read those remarks but added: “Sometimes you have to face the political reality. I’m sure there will be a stage during his political leadership that he will need Independent’s, without doubt.” “I have a few ideas so hopefully we’ll have a good chat at the end of the week. It wouldn’t be fair for me to discuss those publicly just yet,” Mr Fitzpatrick said.“I won’t know what way I’ll be voting until I meet him,” Mr Canney said. “Deals with Independents sometimes can be glamorised but I just want to run a few things by him about what his plans would be, especially for rural Ireland.”, Independent TD for Clare, also said he was strongly leaning towards not supporting Mr Harris.
