Mr Gavin is 54 and affiliated with Fianna Fáil. He is a household name and former Dublin Gaelic football manager who secured six All-Ireland wins, providing strong public recognition. He may find it harder to build popular reach outside urban areas. He is new to politics and would need to learn political processes quickly and clarify his positions on major issues such as Gaza and the housing crisis. He presents as a credible presidential candidate because of name recognition. His association with a government party exists, but he retains enough distance to avoid direct scrutiny of Fianna Fáil's governmental record.
Pros: Another household name, which is beneficial in a presidential election. Known for his success as Dublin Gaelic football manager, who secured six All-Ireland wins. Cons: It could prove harder for Mr Gavin to have the popular reach outside of urban areas. New to politics, he would have to quickly learn the ropes and set out his views on issues such as Gaza and the housing crisis.
Chances: A credible candidate, with name recognition - which always improves chances. While associated with a government party, he has enough distance not to be grilled on Fianna Fáil's record in government.
