Innovative proposals and fresh policies needed to win support, says Martin

FIANNA FÁIL needs “fresher policies” and “innovative proposals” if it is to win back support ahead of the general election, according to the former Minister for Foreign Affairs, Micheál Martin.

Mr Martin said he is still interested in leading Fianna Fáil and the “opportunity to rebuild the party”.

The Cork South Central TD said the party faces a “challenge” in lifting its support levels to above 25% from the current low of 14%, but he believes it can be done.
