Broadcaster Ivan Yates is set to take aim at his former podcast partner Matt Cooper as he insists the “flabbergasting” amount of coverage of his role in the recent presidential election was unwarranted.

The former Fine Gael minister was dropped from his Path to Power podcast after failing to disclose that he provided media training to Fianna Fáil presidential candidate Jim Gavin on two occasions.
