URGENT UPDATE: The review of Fianna Fáil’s presidential election campaign will not conclude until the first week of December 2023, sources confirm. This announcement comes as Taoiseach Micheál Martin reiterated his commitment to remain in his leadership role, amidst ongoing speculation about his future within the party.

The party has been informed that the comprehensive analysis of the campaign will extend into December, raising questions about the implications of this delay for Fianna Fáil’s strategic direction.
