Voters are divided on when Micheál Martin should step down as leader of Fianna Fáil, with 45 per cent saying now is the time for him to go. Some 39p believe he should wait until the taoiseach’s office is rotated with Fine Gael in November 2027, and a further thirteen per cent of voters would be happy for him to lead Fianna Fail into the next general election, according to the latest Ireland Thinks poll for the Sunday Independent.
