Taoiseach Micheál Martin is set to throw his full weight behind Jim Gavin as his pick for president, in the face of a backbench revolt supporting rival Billy Kelleher.
Mr Martin is today expected to publicly show his hand and endorse the former Dublin football manager. He continued to contact TDs throughout yesterday.
