Claire Byrne and Sarah McInerney both pulled out of the running recently.
However, the Cork man did expand slightly on his thoughts about the issue."I'll tell you what I think," he began."I think this conversation has been based on free advertising for betting companies and I think I'm not contributing to that.
"It's not the answer you wanted but it is actually the answer. This has been driven by online betting platforms, all the pieces have been driven by that and if I said anything to you right now that would contribute to that and I'm not going to. "I'm not saying there's not interest, let's be very clear. I am saying, though, that the coverage and the narrative has been driven by online betting companies and I'm not contributing to that."In response to his answer, the columnist said that she thought O'Connor would be a good choice for the hosting gig."Well I'm flattered that you would say so, Alison," said O'Connor."But I still know what you're at.
With both frontrunners in Byrne and McInerney out of the running and Tubridy's final show coming up at the end of the month, online speculation is going to reach boiling point over the next few weeks. Along with O'Connor, Patrick Kielty and Kathryn Thomas are mentioned as possible candidates for the gig.on RTÉ One.
