Taoiseach Micheál Martin aims to lead Fianna Fáil beyond the lifetime of this government.

Mr Martin has no plans to step away from government when his tenure as Taoiseach ends in December 2022, he told the Irish Examiner. At that point, he will become Tánaiste but the Corkman said he aims to continue as Fianna Fáil leader and is focused on building the party in the longer term.
