Martin brought down to earth as voters in west vent fury
The Fianna Fáil leader was aggressively heckled by a passerby at Galway’s Spanish Arch and pressed by local media in Clare to account for unfulfilled election promises made in 2007.
Mr Martin said he expected the anger to come with the well-wishes he received since he took over as leader of Fianna Fáil: “I am a politician. I get around. I walk around. I meet people. I have no doubt that people will articulate their concerns and indeed their anger about the situation, maybe their own personal situation or the situation of the country.
