Gallagher subject of FF fundraiser and company-loan reports

Sean Gallagher's presidential campaign has hit a stumbling block after two media reports this morning questioned his links with Fianna Fáil and detailed a loan he received from one of his businesses in 2009, in breach of company law.

Independent candidate Gallagher took a surprise lead in the the polls last week and since then, has been widely viewed as the one to watch.
