Taoiseach on the brink: Louise Burne

Pressure is coming on Taoiseach Micheal Martin in the wake of the fuel protests and following the resignation as junior minister of Michael Healy Rae. We examine whether his leadership is now in peril, whether he can hang on for now and, beyond that, long enough to host the presidency of the EU in the second half of this year. Or is he destined to fulfil the maxim of all political lives ending in failure. Irish Examiner Political Correspondent Louise Burne is this week’s guest. Hosted on Acast.
