"The aviation regulator will keep open Jim Gavin's high-ranking job for seven years if he is successful in his bid for the Áras, or until after his campaign if he is not elected.

Jim Gavin, the former Dublin manager, is travelling the country to secure support from Fianna Fáil TDs and senators to become the party's presidential candidate. The Irish Aviation Authority will keep his high-ranking job open for seven years if he wins the Áras, and will retain the post until after his campaign if he is not elected. The IAA has declined to confirm whether Gavin has taken leave or when he plans to take leave from his role. The situation ties a prominent sporting figure's political ambitions to employment protections provided by a state regulator.
