Jim Gavin Exits Irish Presidential Race Right Away
The Fianna Fáil nominee Jim Gavin has announced his withdrawal from the race for Ireland's head of state immediately.
He was poised to be a candidate among three standing for the Irish presidency, beside TD Catherine Connolly and Heather Humphreys of Fine Gael.
Nonetheless, on Sunday evening he stated through a declaration that he "erred that was not in keeping with my character and his personal standards."
"Taking all these considerations on board, I have decided to exit the presidential race right away and return to the arms of my family," he declared in a statement.
Additional details to come.
