"Jim Gavin's campaign has defended the use of Parkrun in his presidential campaign videos, despite the organisers saying the events "should never be used to publicise political campaigns of causes". The Fianna Fáil candidate's social ­media video of him taking part in a Parkrun event last weekend has already been subject to controversy over the use of a drone to film it, despite it being in a restricted "red" zone."
Jim Gavin defended the use of Parkrun footage in his presidential campaign videos after organisers objected, saying events should never publicise political campaigns or causes. The campaign released a social media video showing Gavin taking part in a Parkrun last weekend. Organisers said Parkrun should not be used to publicise political campaigns. The video was filmed with a drone inside a designated 'red' zone, creating controversy about aviation restrictions and campaign judgment. Gavin has spoken to his media team following a series of gaffes, and the campaign maintains the use of Parkrun footage was appropriate.
