Taoiseach Micheál Martin has insisted he will lead Fianna Fáil into the next election, despite recent criticism from party backbenchers. The criticism followed the government's handling of fuel price protests. Three young Fianna Fáil TDs issued a letter expressing concern over the government's response. However, Cabinet ministers later backed Martin. Speaking in Dublin, Martin said he had a mandate as Fianna Fáil leader, having been elected just a year and a half ago. He also reported a warm reception from grassroots party members at a centenary event in Mullingar. Martin emphasized his connection to the people, having been elected in many elections since 1989. He highlighted the need to alleviate pressures on families due to the war in the Middle East.
