Micheál Martin urged by TDs to ‘change direction’ after poll ranking

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has been called upon to “change direction” or risk a general election drubbing by some of his own TDs.

Angry party members were responding to an opinion poll which shows the party is now on just 21% — a full 13 percentage points behind Fine Gael.

The Behaviour and Attitudes survey for The Sunday Times was the lowest rating for Fianna Fáil for two years, having fallen three points since the previous poll.
