Dnsmasq on Debian jessie

I am having some issues with dnsmasq on Jessie. I won't start under 
systemd, so 

systemctl start dnsmasq

Starts the service and it works..briefly but the command takes about two 
minutes to return and returns:

Job for dnsmasq.service failed. See 'systemctl status dnsmasq.service' and 
'journalctl -xn' for details.

systemctl status dnsmasq now says

root@ccserver:/home/kevinphilp# systemctl status dnsmasq

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.

I can start dnsmasq maually without systemd and it works with no problems.

I have looked through the bug reports but no clear fix.

Any thoughts welcome.

Thanks

Kevin.
