Senior Fianna Fáil TDs Demand Immediate Release of Presidential Campaign Review

Micheál Martin says publication awaits a final review requested by Jim Gavin's legal team.

Overview

  • Willie O'Dea, Seán Ó Fearghaíl and Pat 'the Cope' Gallagher called for the full report to be published now and for a special parliamentary party meeting to examine its findings.
  • The party leader has not yet received the document, and the review committee is due to meet to finalise matters before publication.
  • Micheál Martin condemned what he called selective and inaccurate commentary about the process and said the review committee has worked independently.
  • He said the timeline was impacted by a request from Jim Gavin's legal representative to review the report before it is released.
  • The review scrutinises how Gavin was identified and selected as the nominee before his withdrawal, while continued leaks have been decried as damaging and unacceptable.
