Unhappiness in the Greens over backing of Catherine Connolly for the Áras. Brian Leddin has now left the party and former Senator Pauline O'Reilly has voiced concerns about the campaign. Both seen as very loyal to former party leader Eamon Ryan. https://t.co/KfAxSfuFIr

Chaos in Fianna Fáil. Gavin’s name will likely still be on the presidential ballot - it’s too late to change that now. Massive questions for Micheal Martin - how long he knew - and director of the election Jack Chambers, who is in the middle of signing off on Tuesday’s budget.
