McGrath rules out FF leadership challenge

Fianna Fáil’s finance spokesman Michael McGrath said he has “no plans whatsoever” to launch a leadership bid against Micheál Martin.

The Cork South Central TD said his fellow Corkman was doing an “excellent job” in bringing about a modest recovery of the party.

Mr McGrath rejected what he described as “silly season” reports of dissatisfaction with the leader among the front bench and, furthermore, speculation he would launch a challenge before the next general election.
