Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin survives leadership review after party's presidential candidate withdrew over debt.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has survived a review into Fianna Fáil’s failed presidential campaign, which found the party was aware of financial concerns about candidate Jim Gavin before his selection but took no decisive action.
Gavin, who withdrew after owing €3,300 in unpaid rent, repaid the amount and declined to comment.
The report recommended stricter vetting for future candidates, including interviews with family and political opponents, but revealed no major new evidence.
Martin, described as defensive during a tense party meeting, faces growing speculation about his leadership, though no formal challenge has emerged.
He has pledged to lead the party into the next general election.
Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan is seen as the most likely successor, with potential leadership transition discussions expected after Ireland’s EU presidency ends in December 2026.
