The now deleted video from Heather Humphreys’ team including an image of the Reichstag building in Berlin.

Video focused on how Heather knows the border and the North - and was posted days after she said she doesn’t just go on “day trips”.

This new podcast from RTÉ Investigates and the Doc on One team, about a shocking miscarriage of justice, is a must listen, not just for the story of the case itself but for its wider implications for the Irish justice system. www.rte.ie/radio/podcas...

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

Taoiseach on Six One says Fianna Fáil did due diligence by asking him if he ever had an issue with a tenant.

Anyone who seeks to make Ireland a better place through public service should be commended.

Jim Gavin has made the right decision for himself and his family. I wish him well.

Tá moladh tuillte ag aon duine a dhéanann iarracht an tír seo a fheabhsú trí sheirbhís phoiblí a thabhairt.

Tá an cinneadh ceart déanta ag Jim Gavin dó féin agus dá chlann.

He himself has said the office of Uachtarán na hÉireann is the highest in the land and the pinnacle of public service. He is clear that he does not want to bring controversy onto this office.

Jim has achieved an enormous amount in his life. His commitment to service and helping others has always, quite rightly, defined his character and his great standing with the public.

Jim has accepted that he made an error in relation to an issue that has arisen in recent days.
