Fianna Fáil presidential candidate Jim Gavin has said he is "looking into" an allegation that a former tenant of his mistakenly overpaid €3,300 in rent for an apartment he used to own and was never paid back.

"If it happened I'm very sorry that it happened, I really am, and I will address it," he said on Sunday.

He's toast already, this only makes it worse.
Will he even get his deposit back? I mean the election deposit, not the landlord one!

Look-Up!

About as weak a statement as you could make, whether guilty or innocent. Unbelievable the amount of money wasted on "PR advisers" in politics. Thickest of the thick.

Jim Gavin gone!
The tankies have it!  :o  :o  :o  :o

Fell on his own sword!
Is it too late for Fianna Fail to nominate someone else?

Nominations closed last Monday or the Monday before.
Jaysis, it's a bad state of affairs.

Excellent! Would be terrible to see Heather Humphries get in on transfers. Hopefully, Catherine Connolly will see it home now ✨️

Are you currently wearing a tankie-top? Inclement weather is no excuse

He will still be on the ballot, and his votes will be counted and transferred - as strange as that might seem.

First bit of pressure and bit of dirty news found out about him and Jimbo jumps ship and to think GAA HQ put their faith in that individual to change the sport for the better  ::)

Main Street

Sunday Indo sponsored poll
'reveals where crucial second preference votes would go, with 60pc of Mr Gavin's second preference votes going to Ms Humphreys, compared to just 24pc of his second preference votes going to Ms Connolly.'

That would indicate a bias towards Heather Humphreys from would be Gavin voters.

It was a committee changed the rules and got 96% approval of players. You really need to accept we're not going back to that dark hole

Look-Up!
