Micheál Martin: Election set for 2020, unless Taoiseach tries to 'pull a stroke'

“They want to replace a government which is out of touch and systematically incapable of understanding or tackling our country’s biggest challenges,” he told the annual Fianna Fáil presidential dinner.

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has ruled out a General Election this year unless the Taoiseach decides to “pull a stroke” for his own political gain.

Speaking at the annual Fianna Fáil presidential dinner, Mr Martin said keeping the current Government in power has been “tough” for many of his members because they are “straining to take our message of change to the doorsteps”.
