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 not have been selected the next day.
The precise words used are critical. But if Jim's false assertion was given without caveat, that was #fraud which cost #FF ~€400K.

Wow! :O
Micheál Martin deserves big prizes both for arrogance and for idiocy. Everyone knows presidential elections are gruelling, that every potential candidate needs intensive scrutiny before endorsement.
Whatever else comes out in the #FiannaFail #Aras25 review, Micheál's colleagues know they are looking at a leader whose political judgement is as useless as #JimGavin's. Micheál may hang on another year, but the #FF leadership election starts here.

#FF's #Aras25 review seems to have concluded that it was all the fault of the politically clueless #JimGavin that the #FiannaFail leadership bullied the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party to adopt a politically clueless candidate for the presidency. 🙄
Glad we cleared that up. 😂🤣
Great reporting by Mícheál Lehane and others at https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2025/1216/1549211-fianna-fail-review/

3 veteran #FiannaFail TDs said the #FF party's #Aras25 review should be published “immediately”.
TDs Willie O’Dea, former Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl, and Pat ‘The Cope’ Gallagher signed a statement insisting that the party and Martin move swiftly and publish the long-awaited review, stating that the constant leaks and coverage of the report is damaging.

2.346 #JimGavins have elapsed since #FiannaFail started its inquiry into its #Aras25 presidential election disaster.

Fianna Fáil is openly bickering about its unpublished (possibly unfinished) report into #JimGavin's disastrous #Aras25 presidential election.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 failure of party organisation.
2.308 #JimGavins have elapsed since #FF established this inquiry. The idea was to learn from events, and move on. Instead, it's spiralling downwards.

@janwwbosch you got the calculation right, but you expressesd it back to front.
1 #Scaramucci = 0.42307 #JimGavin
-
Actually, I think there may be a wee glitch in @janwwbosch's calculations.
A #Scaramucci is 11 days. A #JimGavin is 26 days.
So 1 JimGavin = 2.3636363636 Scaramuccis

#FF #Aras25 inquiry to outlast three #JimGavins.
#JimGavin's #Aras25 presidential campaign crashed on 5th 0ctober, after only 26 days.
So 1 #JimGavin = 26 days. #NewUnitOfTime
#FiannaFail 's inquiry into the disaster was established on 16th October. It was due to report on 12th November, then 5th December, and now it has been postponed to "the new year".
The first working day of the new year is Friday 2nd January, i.e. 79 days after the inquiry started. 79 days in 3.04 #JimGavins.

#FF's #Aras25 review to take twice as long as long as its campaign. 😂🤣
#JimGavin was selected as Fianna Fáil presidential candidate on 9 September. He quit on 5 October, i.e. 26 days later.
#FiannaFail announced its review into its failed campaign on 15 October. #RTÉ #RTEnews reports that the review won't be ready until the end of the first week in December, i.e. 5 Dec. That's 51 days.

#IvanYates media coached FF presidential candidate #JimGavin for #Aras25 while pretending to be a pundit. 😮 Yates didn't declare his interest, so has been fired from his podcast with #MattCooper.
Yates now adds "failed media coach" and "sacked podcaster" to his career as politician who quit when on cusp of being party leader, failed bookmaker, bankruptcy tourist, and unreliable pundit. #MultiTalentless 😂🤣

Ireland elects a left-wing president in an anti-government landslide.
Independent Catherine Connolly won a record 63.4% of valid votes.
Heather Humphreys of the government coalition party Fine Gael finished a distant second with 29.5%. Finishing in third and last place Saturday was Jim Gavin of the largest government party, Fianna Fáil, who won barely 7% of votes.

@IarfhlaithO @ben #JimGavin should have paid not only interest, but also the same penalties he'd have had to pay the Revenue if he had dodged tax for 14 years.

Congrats to Simon McGarr @Tupp_ed for the best bit of snark so far about the disgraced Fianna Fáil presidential candidate #JimGavin. #Aras25
Simon's post at #TheGist https://www.thegist.ie/the-gist-jim-bows-out/ is an excellent, concise explainer of what happened and what comes next. But that's some fine #snark at #FiannaFail's presidential failure.

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.

THE TENANT AT the centre of the #JimGavin rent payment issue contacted #FiannaFáil on Saturday but has not received any call back from either the party or the former candidate, reports #TheJournal.
Surely, being v helpful to the tenant was #FiannaFai's obvious priority for damage limitation? Instead, this is looking more and more like #Haughey era damage maximisation.
I hadn't foreseen that Micheál Martin's career would end so badly.

Irish Landlord League Official Statement On #JimGavin #Aras25, by #BillBadbody.
"countless landlords who have stolen money from their tenants have been in touch to say they have been put off running for public office" 😅🤣
Yet again, #WaterfordWhispersNews #WWN nails it. #Satire.

THREAD: 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 politicians. Micheál has been a public representative for 40 years, a candidate in 11 elections, and as a #TD he has been involved in another dozen elections.

Jim Gavin's #Aras25 presidential campaign died swiftly. The €3,300 overpaid by a tenant has been just resting in Jim's account for 16 years, like #FatherTed.
Bad enough being a #landlord, but dodgy landlord is electorally fatal. Evasion is fatal. Bye, Jim!
https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/1005/1536926-jim-gavin/
Micheál Martin chose #JimGavin, who had no political experience. Jim's unsusurprising collapse is the Taoiseach's bad. His 14½-year leadership of Fianna Fáil now looks shaky.
