Taoiseach Micheál Martin has insisted “it is all systems go” for his Government, which holds its first full Cabinet meeting today. Speaking exclusively to the Irish Examiner, Mr Martin has spoken of his desire to rescuing the country from the recession caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Mr Martin insisted his deputy leader and Government chief whip Dara Calleary will have a central role in the government. Earlier in the day, Mr Martin received a warm reception, as he arrived at his home in Ballinlough. Mr Martin admitted he was conscious of the symbolism of such a gesture.
