Jim Gavin exits Irish presidential race 'with immediate effect'

Former Dublin gaelic football manager, Jim Gavin, has withdrawn from the Irish presidential election "with immediate effect" less than three weeks before the polls. Gavin cited a mistake that was not in line with his standards as the reason for his withdrawal. His decision has been supported by Irish Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, who emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of the presidential office.
