The Ditch: The Party Line | Episode 5: Cuba Hungry, Cuba Free While 19 Irish citizens were in Cuba as part of a convoy to mark the fact that there is an illegal blockade on Cuba from the United States, taoiseach Micheál Martin was actually in the United States. As we were 90 miles south of Miami in Havana, Micheál Martin was in Washington being hosted by the state that is responsible for the illegal blockade. If you're not allowing cancer medication – you're killing people. I have no doubt that he failed to mention it.'

Together with the António Costa, António Costa, and the Taoiseach of Ireland, Micheál Martin, we coordinated the priorities of the Ukrainian agenda during Ireland’s EU Council Presidency. First and foremost, we discussed the practical steps needed for the swiftest possible progress of Ukraine towards full EU membership. We also aligned on further support for Ukraine and strengthening sanctions pressure on Russia. I thank Ireland and all our European partners for their support for Ukraine. We count on this Presidency to be a time of important decisions.

Yesterday, I put a number of questions to Taoiseach Micheál Martin regarding the upcoming Budget. I wanted answers on the USC and I also raised the issue of the judicial review concerning sex offenders. Unfortunately, as has become all too typical, Micheál Martin chose to ignore the questions. Surrounded by State Gardaí for his protection, the Taoiseach appears to believe that he does not have to answer directly to the people he represents. But public office comes with accountability, and the Taoiseach should never be above answering legitimate questions from members of the public. The only person Micheál Martin seems willing to answer to is himself. I have no doubt that once the European presidential process is over, serious questions will be asked within Fianna Fáil about his leadership, and I believe the pressure on him to step down will only increase.

Here's Micheál Martin on Fox News talking about the US attack on Iran. His first concern is economic uncertainty (not the mass murder of children in a girls school or all the other war crimes). Then he repeats the lie about nuclear weapons. Not one mention of international law
