Yesterday the prominent venture capitalists was priced at 33/1. Today Mr. Casey is second favourite at 10/1 having outstripped his fellow former 'Dragons' Den' star Sean Gallagher, who has drifted to 66/1.

The clear favourite and front-runner remains President Michael D. Higgins who nonetheless has drifted slightly from 1/50 to 1/25.

Mr. Casey is now second favourite ahead of Mr. Gallagher (66/1), Sinn Féin candidate, Liadh Ní Riada (80/1), Pieta House founder Joan Freeman (250/1) and the final 'Dragon' in the race Gavin Duffy (500/1).

The Derry man who has been accused of running a 'Trump-like' campaign and who incensed members of the travelling community in Ireland by denying that Travellers were a distinct ethnic group, was born here but currently divides his time between the United States and Donegal.
