The next FF parliamentary party meeting should be interesting.

A good auld Drumcondra hit.
Wonder why he exposed himself to this at all. Tarnished his legendary status a tad.
“Return to the arms” of his family. Poor fella was slaughtered.
Wow. Michael Martin count your days.
Embarrassing all round. Worst presidential election in the history of the state?
„I have decided to withdraw from the presidential election contest with immediate effect and return to the arms of my family“
Given that Jim’s such a big military man, I’m not sure whether he’s referring to guns or hugs here lol
What story do / did the papers have lined up for next week? 🤔
Billy Keheller must be quite smug right now.
Serious egg on Míchael Martin’s face after this.
How does this impact the actual ballot? Does he remain on the paper?
Poor aul Billy Kelleher will be fuming
See ya
His posters will be a collector’s item now. Off to the streets.
Turns out he probably owes that chap 3 grand.
A right shitshow from FF in going with him. Baffling that they thought he was a worthwhile candidate in the first place.
Éamon Ó Cuív refusing to endorse Gavin makes me think we’ll see some FF drama over the next few days. It’s almost impressive how badly Chambers did running Gavin’s campaign
You ran for president while that poor tenant was supposed to be in Lourdes!
The big counterfactual of this election is how would Mairead McGuinness be faring. (Hope she’s doing ok.) No big theory on it, just interesting to consider.
What an absolute clusterfuck for FF.
Even more so, my reading of [this](https://www.presidentialelection.ie/nomination-process/index.html) is he can’t officially withdraw now and will still be on the ballot.
The weirdest election everrr🗣️
In fairness the chap looked completely out of his element, as if he’d pulled the short string by FF to put him forward.
I’d say there were a lot more skeletons in the closet that were to be revealed
It really is unreal how Fianna fail can get so many things wrong and still be the largest party
What an absolute shit show this presidential race is.
As per Gavan Reilly:
>It is not possible, at this juncture, to officially withdraw or to remove a name from the ballot paper. Jim Gavin’s name will remain on the ballot for Friday 24th, merely with no campaign behind it.
Again with the money. All the ways you can get yourself in trouble in politics but for FF it’s always the money. Tremendous consistency.
Some say that on this night there was a mysterious sound heard across the planes of Drumcondra.
The sound of someone cackling with laughter emanating from the deepest depths of their belly. The unmistakable sound of the creature known as Mr. Ahern.
The smugness will be radiating off him for weeks that and the smell of all the champagne he shall drink on this most sacred of nights.
I bet he wished he wasn’t a prick of a landlord now.
Wouldn’t be surprised if there was more dirt yet to land on him over the coming weeks to influence that. Micheál will be in an awkward spot over the next few days 🍿
Wonder if there’s a guy on a barstool in Drumcondra having a little chuckle to himself..
This is the end of Micheal Martin as well.
He pissed off a lot of FF people by pushing Jim Gavin and it blew up in his face.
