The Indo Daily: 'Publish and be damned' - Fionnan Sheehan on his side of the Jim Gavin report - and the reporting trail behind it all
"The Jim Gavin report has landed, but does it really explain how Fianna Fáil handled repeated warnings about a serious tenant dispute? Or does it reveal a party too willing to accept reassurances, too slow to ask hard questions, and too determined to protect a chosen candidate? Fionnán Sheahan outlines the reporting behind the story, the weeks of verification, and the moment the party's bluff was called."
"Irish Independent Political Editor Mary Regan assesses the damage, the unanswered questions around Michael Martin's role, and why Fianna Fáil remains deeply divided. Has Fianna Fáil finally closed the book on this saga, or will it continue to haunt Micheál Martin's leadership into the new year? Today on the Indo Daily Kevin Doyle, is joined by Irish Independent Ireland Editor Fionnán Sheehan and Political Editor Mary Regan to discuss how it all went so wrong and who will pay the political price."
