Mary Lou McDonald has said there is a possibility that Micheál Martin will renege on his promise not to enter into government with Sinn Féin GE2020

McDonald said she could “land on no other conclusion” other than gender is at play when such comments are made. Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has continuously ruled out entering into government with Sinn Féin. I mean it is [a possibility]. I think any number of his colleagues are on the record actually contradicting him and saying, ‘well, we actually we should talk to Sinn Féin and so on”.

I mean, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people who vote for Sinn Féin, we represent them.
