Micheál Martin under renewed pressure over fuel protests

The Taoiseach is under renewed pressure from within his own party over last week’s fuel protests.

Several senior backbench TDs are demanding an urgent meeting of the parliamentary party, with reports that some are trying to garner support for a heave against Micheál Martin.

Last night, the Taoiseach met with three of the youngest Fianna Fail TDs after they released a statement criticising the timing of the coalition’s response to what they describe as ‘deep frustration’ within communities.
