"Following disclosures in the Irish Independent (Saturday) that Ivan Yates provided training services to Fianna Fail candidate, Jim Gavin, during the recent Presidential election, we have taken the decision to end Ivan's role as co-host of Path To Power with immediate effect, Neither Matt Cooper nor NK Productions were aware that Ivan was working on the campaign, and both believe that this information should have been shared with the audience of the podcast when the Presidential election was being discussed."
"Ivan recently advised the Path To Power team of his wish to leave the podcast in the New Year. Nevertheless, the team have taken the decision that in light of this development, his role as a co-host will end immediately"
"I am rarely shocked but I was shocked. And then I suppose I was angry and now I'm sad because I very much enjoyed working with Ivan,"
Ivan Yates provided training services to Fianna Fáil presidential candidate Jim Gavin during the recent presidential election while continuing to participate in high-profile election conversations on the Path To Power podcast without disclosing his campaign involvement. Cooper and NK Productions stated they were unaware of Yates's work for the campaign and said the audience should have been informed when the election was discussed. Yates had indicated he planned to leave the podcast in the New Year, but the team ended his co-hosting role immediately after the revelation. Matt Cooper said he felt shocked, angry and sad and could not return while he felt he had not been correctly informed.
