The Fianna Fáil parliamentary party has unanimously decided not to allow its members back any Presidential candidate.
A meeting of members finished in the past half hour.
It follows a row in Fianna Fáil over the party's presidential election strategy.
The news will come as a bitter blow to prospective candidates including David Norris and Dana Rosemary Scallon, who were hoping that individual Fianna Fáil TDs would nominate them.
Earlier today, Fianna Fáil Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú announced that he is no longer looking to get on the ballot paper for the Presidential election.
