Taoiseach Micheál Martin has defended travelling to Africa for a G20 Leaders' Summit amid internal party accusations his overseas travel is delaying a review of the party's disastrous presidential election performance. 

Speaking in Angola, the Taoiseach insisted his attendance in Luanda for the AU-EU conference in Johannesburg for the G20 Leaders’ Summit, and his recent attendance at the Cop30 climate summit in Brazil, had no impact on the timeline for completing Fianna Fáil’s review of the presidential election campaign.
