*Unfair broadcasts: The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland upheld a complaint made by former presidential candidate Seán Gallagher relating to The Frontline presidential debate, which was broadcast on RTÉ One on Oct 24, 2011, and the Today with Pat Kenny radio programme, which was broadcast the following day.

Mr Gallagher argued that the broadcast of a tweet from what had been erroneously described as the ‘Martin McGuinness for President Campaign’ was “indicative of a lack of objectivity and of partiality towards the candidate”.
