Exit the Healy-Rae brothers, enter the new Fianna Fail candidate spun as 'independent-minded and in government'

"Fianna Fáil is moulding its own 'independent-minded government TD', inspired by Michael Lowry's tactic of being in the Government and on the opposition at the same time."

"Micheál Martin is creating a new brand of TD with a leg on both sides of the fence, reflecting a strategic shift in response to recent political challenges."

The party aims to create a brand of TD that can navigate both sides of the political spectrum, reflecting a shift in their political strategy following recent fuel protests.
