Fianna Fáil candidate Jim Gavin Withdraws From Ireland's Presidential Election Right Away
Fianna Fáil candidate Jim Gavin has announced he is withdrawing from the Irish presidential election right away.
He was scheduled to be a candidate among three competing for the role of Irish president, alongside Independent TD Catherine Connolly and Fine Gael's Heather Humphreys.
Nonetheless, Sunday night he said in a statement he had "made a mistake inconsistent with his values and his personal standards."
"Taking all these considerations on board, I have decided to exit the presidential race immediately and return to the arms of my family," he declared in his announcement.
