Former Dublin GAA manager Jim Gavin has received the backing of all of Fianna Fáil’s senior ministers, as the internal contest for party’s presidential nomination heats up.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin and his senior ministers were lined up to publicly throw their support behind Mr Gavin in what Cork TD Pádraig O’Sullivan deemed a co-ordinated effort to end the contest before it had officially begun.
