Micheál Martin ready for 2020 election

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin is ready for a general election early in the new year. The opposition party last year agreed to support Fine Gael through another Budget given the threat of Brexit, however, Mr Martin has strongly indicated that he is eager to go to the polls shortly after this.

Members attending Fianna Fáil’s think-in in Gorey, Co Wexford today privately expressed confidence in where the party now stands and believe keeping the Government in power over another winter would only strengthen their position going into an early spring election.
