Listen Later

'Fiasco' just one of the words used by Fianna Fáil politicians to describe the Presidential campaign for the party now. This follows the sudden withdrawal of FF's candidate, Jim Gavin over a dispute with a tenant dating back to 2009. 

Fran, Katie and David examine the timeline of the story over this weekend culminating in Gavin's decision to withdraw on Sunday night. Several senior Fianna Fáil politicians are calling for a review of the selection of Jim Gavin and many are questioning what this means for party leader Micheál Martin who chose Gavin as a candidate.
