'We've helped renters with the Rent Tax Credit, which is at €750, and we intend to increase that in the next Budget.'

Micheál Martin speaking on The Week in Politics

I strongly condemn Iran’s attack on Israel. My thoughts are with the Israeli people at this time.

The scale and intensity of the attack represents a flagrant threat to international peace and security and is utterly unacceptable.

My full statement ⬇️

Brilliant energy at #FFArdFheis24 as we look ahead to the Local & European Elections on June 7th.

Being in government is about delivering for people and that is what Fianna Fáil’s focus is on.

We are determined to deliver for Ireland and deliver for you.

Fianna Fáil is committed to the hard and sustained work of delivering real progress for the Irish people.

This is our work. This is our commitment.

A privilege to have delivered the opening address this evening ahead of Uachtaráin Fianna Fáil Micheál Martin at the 82nd Árd Fheis.

Fianna Fáil has been delivering for every community in every corner of the country.

And we want to go much further, help people more, be even more ambitious.

The most effective way to get things done is with a strong Fianna Fáil team in place locally, nationally and in Europe.

Deep and positive engagement with Europe and the world is absolutely fundamental for Ireland’s future.

We need more positive and active voices to the European Parliament.

MEPs who will represent Ireland’s interests and values through building alliances. #EuropeMatters

Investing in communities and clubs is an investment in the well-being, prosperity, and future of our society.
