Micheál Martin warns off leadership moves

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has addressed mounting speculation about his leadership, asserting that he will decide the timing of his departure based on the best interests of Fianna Fáil.

Speaking at a party event, Martin noted that he is currently the longest-serving leader since Éamon de Valera and remains focused on government stability.

While some members have expressed a desire for a generational shift, no clear successor has yet emerged to challenge his authority.

Martin emphasized that Ireland must avoid the 'political turmoil' currently impacting the UK government.
