Taoiseach Micheál Martin has vowed that he will lead Fianna Fáil into the next general election, and insisted he won’t be stepping down as leader when Simon Harris becomes taoiseach next year.
After a turbulent year for his party, Mr Martin appears to have warded off any threats of a heave against him, following a disastrous presidential election campaign in which his chosen candidate, Jim Gavin, withdrew from the race.
