    Is Micheál Martin really safe as FF leader?

    It’s now over seven weeks since the Strait of Hormuz was shut off — trapping a quarter of the world’s oil and a fifth of its natural gas. What was hoped to be short-lived has proven anything but, and no one knows when it will end. So how does a government plan for the unplannable? Gavan Reilly examines the ongoing energy crisis, the options on the table — including a potential return to energy credits — and the political fallout after fuel protests. Despite seeing off a confidence motion, the government has lost a junior minister, while speculation continues around Micheal Martin’s leadership. With analysis from John Lee, Eileen Culloty and Mick Clifford. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
