"Taoiseach Micheál Martin is on borrowed time, according to multiple Fianna Fáil sources, following a bruising party meeting and a review into its presidential campaign that many TDs believe failed to answer key questions around his handling of the debacle. While the threat of a no-confidence motion in his leadership has receded for now, multiple sources said the review into the party's botched presidential campaign had exacerbated rather than healed divisions in the party."
Micheál Martin faces intense internal pressure within Fianna Fáil after a bruising party meeting and a review of the party’s presidential campaign. Many TDs judge the review to have failed to address key questions about Martin’s handling of the episode and about early warnings involving Jim Gavin. The immediate threat of a no-confidence motion has receded, but frustration remains widespread among elected representatives. Several TDs say the review worsened tensions rather than resolving them. The campaign is described within the party as botched, and divisions over leadership and accountability persist. Calls for clearer answers and potential leadership change continue to circulate among party ranks.
