"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 intensified leadership pressure after a bruising Fianna Fáil meeting and a contested review of the party's presidential campaign. Multiple Fianna Fáil TDs say the review failed to answer key questions about his handling of the campaign debacle. The immediate threat of a no-confidence motion has diminished, but internal discontent remains pronounced among TDs. Many sources indicate the review exacerbated existing splits rather than healing them, increasing mistrust and factional tension. The unresolved issues and heightened divisions leave Martin's position precarious and party unity weakened ahead of future political challenges.
