The Fine Gael leader told the Irish Mirror there is “no mention in Bunreacht na hÉireann” that states he must provide the media with “hourly updates of his thinking” on the election date.
Taoiseach Simon Harris has once again refused to say if the general election will be in 2024 or 2025.
As the Government unveiled Budget 2025 on Tuesday, the opposition accused them of a “giveaway” that the coalition hoped would win them an election.“I reckon no matter what was in budget, I reckon the headlines were written,” he said. Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Tánaiste Micheál Martin once again restated his desire for an election in February.
“I have great respect for the two coalition leaders that I serve with and I won't be providing them with running commentaries or surprises through the media. Nor will I surprise them in relation to this. The Taoiseach said: “My position on this won’t change no matter how many times I’m asked the question. I want the Government to finish its work.”
