The Fianna Fáil leader says there is “significant content” in the new programme for government on the climate emergency. “There’s further work being done on it in terms of presentation, it now moves on to the parliamentary parties for discussion,” Micheál Martin said. There is very significant content in the programme for government in that regard and something I look forward to. “Hopefully the parties discuss this and ratify this and it will lead to significant change in the next government.”When asked when he would become Taoiseach Mr Martin said it “would become clear soon”. It’s understood that Mr Martin will rotate with current Taoiseach Leo Varadkar for the role with Mr Martin going first, and swapping the role back in December 2022.
