The presidential race exhibited consistently low energy from the outset, likened to a charmless slow bicycle race. Numerous rows and melodramas punctuated the campaign but failed to generate sustained excitement or momentum. The campaign concluded in an even drearier state, maintaining a slow and unengaging pace. The most notable development was the dramatic collapse of Fianna Fáil's candidate Jim Gavin. Gavin, described as an airman, experienced a pronounced loss of political momentum, likened to a parachute that failed to open.
