Micheál Martin will be running as one of two Fianna Fáil candidates in the Cork South Central constituency. Since entering national politics in 1989 the Cork South Central TD has served on the Fianna Fáil front bench and in four cabinet posts. Martin was elected as Fianna Fáil leader in January 2011.
Well Micheal, did you spend weeks reading MACBETH, before you you planned your moves?
I am fascinated by the Holier than thou air this man tries to project. One would be forgiven for thinking he was part of the solution, rather than a chief player in our financial collapse. This man sat at the table while two finance ministers and two Taoiseachs sold us to the developers and bankers. He was a party to every wrong decision made by Brian Lenihan and Brian Cowan and indeed by Bertie Aherne. How dare he ask Joe Public to vote for him. Throw him out, he has done enough damage to us.
Well said Margaret Murphy.
Michael Martin and his party are a discrace to democracy…
Restore the economy
Create jobs
Deliver reform
