#GE24: Ben Scallan asks Micheál Martin if he accepts that ruling out a government with Fine Gael in 2020 was a lie, and if he will “apologise” to the public:”Do you accept that you lied?””We made commitments. We weren’t in a position to follow through on those commitments.”
Sinn Féin TD Dessie Ellis tells Gript that the tallies are “very promising” for his party early in the #GeneralElection24 count. He adds that, if the numbers are possible, his party would ideally like to form a Government with “others on the Left.”
John and Sarah review the election, look forward to five more years of Micheál Martin, look at the strength of “vote left transfer left”, and also muse on the Toy Show, Hunter Biden, and the tragic case in New Ross. PODCAST: https://gript.ie/podcasts/five-more-years-baby/
