Taoiseach Micheál Martin has defended his leadership amid criticism from party colleagues over the Government’s handling of the fuel protests. Martin said he does not “feel under threat” as leader of Fianna Fáil, as the political fallout from the demonstrations continues. Senior party members have taken to the airwaves to criticise the Government’s handling of fuel protests and blockades after the three youngest Fianna Fáil TDs issued a letter voicing their “deep concern”.
