she learned about his intentions to vote against.

And it has all the hallmarks of a fantastic Netflix political drama, something that you'd be eating your popcorn watching and just hooked because, as you say, the Taoiseach, the leader of the government, had no idea this was happening.

Michael Ely Ray stood up in the Dáil and said what he said.

All that time, Micheál Martin was on the phone saying,

to the Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, who he had cancelled a visit on in the midst of this mess.

Half the cabinet nearly, or a couple of ministers and the Taoiseach were meant to go to Canada on a trade mission and that had to be axed in the face of the political fallout this week.

So he was on the phone to Mark Carney.

He's still on the phone.

He's, you know, conveying all sorts of, I'm sure, regrets that he couldn't go on the trip, but, you know, chatting through what they probably would have talked about on the trade mission.

And the next thing, Michael Leany-Wray

out of the Dáil, telling everybody that he's resigned and that he's voting no confidence, and into government buildings with his letter of resignation.

Micheál Martin, the Taoiseach, still on the phone to the Kennedy and Prime Minister.

Oh, well, you know, Cork couldn't allow Kerry to be dominating the news headlines for that long.

So it had to turn the, you know, the periscope had to turn to Micheál Martin in this case.

He's the Taoiseach.

He's the leader of the government and the book is...

does have to stop with someone.

And it seems that the Fianna Fáil party are very much turning their heads to their party leader and the Taoiseach to take some sort of accountability.

And maybe that accountability is with his job, with his top job in Fianna Fáil and as Taoiseach.

So we had three younger members of the Fianna Fáil party, Albert Dolan, Ryan O'Mara and James O'Connor, who came out this week.
