It’s rare that a situation reflects so badly on so many people at the same time.

But remember, FF are definitely not the same as FG! Totally different parties who will be campaigning for your votes as such and will absolutely positively not be joining together to keep everyone else out of Government.

Was it Ivan’s idea to have Gavin pull out the wee slip of paper during the debate?

There’s a rumour by Fionnan Sheehan that Jim Gavin tried to withdraw from the selection convention and that Michéal Martin personally went to Gavin’s house to convince him to remain in the race. This is getting worse and worse.

I love how the election is over but FF are still making an absolute beans of it. It’s like they walked into a room full of mouse traps and they’re still going off. Michael Martin is toast.

I do wonder are there legal implications to Yates for all of this.
For example on multiple podcasts he was discussing odds (what’s a good price etc) of candidates and people may have been swayed by his input based on this assumption he was an impartial political journalist with no skin in the game. You’d take his advice very differently if you knew he was helping Gavin get elected.
Obviously then there’s the bigger issues with Cooper, RTE and Newstalk that could suffer reputation damage and loss of earnings as a result of this whole thing.
I assume Ivan is keeping quiet because of legal guidance but that’s only an assumption.

The sad thing about this is that I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that down the line Ivan will be on the air, on TV, giving his political opinion on an upcoming election and guffawing with a wry smile *’oh I’m not training anybody this time’* and the other presenter will laugh it off as well.
That’s how the Irish media works, you are never cancelled in their eyes, you ‘*made mistakes*’ and just have to lay low for a while before one of RTÉ/Bauer Media get you back and then the other one gives you a go as well.

Yates in FG pocket this week?
Well it worked wonders anyway.
