Micheál Martin denies claims of engaging in ‘Punch and Judy’ tactics with Enda Kenny

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has dismissed claims his party is engaging in ‘Punch and Judy’ tactics after launching a mock ad targeting Enda Kenny ahead of the election.

Mr Martin launched a surprise billboard poster yesterday in which the opposition party put its main rival, Taoiseach Enda Kenny, front and centre of its message.

Instead of promoting its own policies, Fianna Fáil targeted Fine Gael’s time overseeing health while in office, as well as the party’s promises to cut taxes for the rich.
