Micheál Martin Urged To 'Consider His Position As Leader'
Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has been called on to "consider his position as party leader", by Cavan County Councillor John Paul Feeley.
According to reports, Cllr Feeley has said that he is "baffled" Mr Martin was still party leader in light of the election results. Cllr Feeley said that the results had shown that Fianna Fáil had been "roundly rejected by the people".
The final results of Saturday's General Election are still to be reported but preliminary results have shown significant gains for Sinn Féin, while both Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have lost a number of seats.
