Poll: Will Fianna Fáil rise again?

Micheál Martin outlined the challenges facing the decimated Fianna Fáil party this past weekend but said the party will regroup and renew its strength. Do you think FF will still be around in ten years’ time?

FIANNA FÁIL LEADER Micheál Martin made a speech over the weekend in which he admitted that his party is at a “critical” juncture in its history.

However, Martin insisted that FF WILL make a comeback and that members at grassroots level will drive the renewal of the party.

Do you think he’s right? Whatever your political affiliations and whether or not you would like to see the party make a comeback, we’d like to know:
