If your plans where to spoil your vote, please don't now switch to voting for 'Jim Gavin', who remains on the ballot. His votes and transfers will still be counted. Voting for him will send a signal you were not aware of him withdrawing from it. Thanks

So far, the Presidential election has not hugely caught fire but with a second televised debate and opinion poll results due tomorrow, Sandra Hurley looks at what is at stake for the three campaigns.
Presidential campaign teams have much to mull over
There's just under three weeks to go in the Presidential election as campaign teams take stock this weekend.

The Ditch is challenging – in the High Court if necessary.

Unlawful election ballot gives FG, FF undue advantage
