Irish election: Buffalo and TV battles as parties enter last week

The second week of the election was also the coldest.

It was certainly a cold house for the Fine Gael leadership when an old story got new legs.

It involved one Fine Gael candidate and two court cases.

John McGahon, a member of Seanad Éireann (the Irish Senate) since 2020, was found not guilty in a trial in 2022 of physically attacking another man, Breen White, outside a pub in the border county of Louth.

In a subsequent civil case, McGahon was found 65% liable for damages and was ordered to pay €39,000 (£32,500).

Last Sunday, images of Mr White’s injuries were published in the Sunday Times, while a video of the incident also emerged, and the matter suddenly became an issue in the election campaign.
