Martin scores a win in Oval Office – Mooney on Irish Politics
In this episode I look at Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s unsurprisingly solid Oval Office performance with Donald Trump. I express regret that opposition parties here took such a overwhelmingly negative stance on his performance. But… even more… I regret that Martin fails to communicate as well on domestic issues as he does when in the White House. I also ask why, with government satisfaction on the floor, Sinn Féin still isn’t breaking through… and look to the Gerald Barry rule of politics… at some point every opposition leader is the worst ever opposition leader.
