Screenshot of three paragraphs from linked article on RTÉ News: Mr Martin said there was no public record or court record available for anyone to confirm the existence of the dispute, and that the only way for anyone to be aware of it was through a primary source, be it the tenant or Mr Gavin. "He was very categoric that there was no issue, and he said he never had a journalist as a tenant even. That was his recollection. He might not have been aware the person was a journalist." Mr Martin confirmed that the Fianna Fáil report was sent to Mr Gavin’s lawyers, but that his understanding was that no substantive changes were made, bar some personal details that may have been taken out.

Will Fianna Fáil sue Jim Gavin?

#Taoiseach Micheál Martin tells #RTE: #JimGavin told #FiannaFail on 8th September that "he never had a journalist as a tenant". That was false.

If Jim had told the truth, the matter would have been investigated. Jim Gavin would […]

Headline from linked RTÉ News article by Mícheál Lehane and others: "Breaking Jim Gavin was asked twice about dispute with tenant - Fianna Fáil review"

#FF's #Aras25 review seems to have concluded that it was all the fault of the politically clueless #Jim Gavin that the #FiannaFail leadership bullied the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party to adopt a politically clueless candidate for the presidency. 🙄

Glad we […]

Fianna Fáil. FF's Aras25 inquiry has now lasted for 2.308 Jim Gavins.

Fianna Fáil is openly bickering about its unpublished (possibly unfinished) report into #JimGavin's disastrous #Aras25 presidential election.

I dunno if the leaks/allegations are accurate. But after 5 months, #FiannaFail still can't sort this. It's a spectacular […]

Jim Gavin repays €3,300 owed to former tenant Former Fianna Fáil Presidential Election candidate Jim Gavin has repaid his former tenant the €3,300 he owed from rent overpayments.

What’s the compound interest on 3300 over 16 years? It’s a hell of a lot more than 3300 !! #JimGavin repays €3,300 owed to former tenant www.rte.ie/news/preside... #CrimeWorld #Apology maybe?

Image of black text on a white background. Three short paragraphs which read: "Gavin’s name will remain on the ballot paper. His withdrawal will just mean that he won’t do anything to try to persuade people to back him. Which, to be fair, describes how his campaign worked from the start."

#JimGavin could still win presidency and serve for an undefined period after #MDH steps down.

Headline of Fintan O'Toole's column in The Irush Times: "What on earth was Micheál Martin thinking? Jim Gavin clearly wasn’t ready" Sub-heading: "Getting your followers to agree to a proposition that makes no sense is the ultimate ego trip"

Fintan O'Toole at his excoriating best, putting the boot hard into Micheál Martin. Fianna Fáil's choice of #JimGavin was a badly botched attempt to "cut the presidency down to size" by selecting a man of little substance.

Fianna Fáil TDs are saying: "A lot of us were having conversations about how it was going nowhere, but we were afraid to say too much in case it got back to Micheál,”

They are afraid of Micheal Martin in Fianna Fáil, how bad is that!?

Black text on a white backgriund: The departure of Gavin tells us one more thing about politics: how tough it is. Gavin was brought in because he was a non-politician, someone who could reach out to parts of the public that a conventional Fianna Fáil politician couldn’t reach. He is someone with an impressive record of achievement and public service. But the fierce glare of public and media scrutiny proved too much. People who think anyone could be a politician should reflect on Gavin’s demise and consider whether that’s really true.

Pat Leahy in the #IrishTimes is right. Politics is hard, and bruising. People who haven't seen it up close rarely grasp just how tough.

But #JimGavin was chosen as #FiannaFail candidate for #Aras25 by #MicheálMartin, who is one of Ireland's most experienced […]
