All 30 and under.

All 30, the Fianna Fáil 30 under 30, or the three under 30.

20-something.

Yeah, the 20-something group, which isn't something that you would think you would have with the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party, but they do have their sub-30 category.

So these three came out this week and they said that they didn't want to kind of be answering for the actions of government to their constituents anymore.

I'm sure they've had an earful.

Some of them, you know, Albert Donal is from a farming background himself.

And like, I'm sure, you know, they are getting it in the ear from their constituents because that's the first person they go to.

You can't be more grassroots than that, you know.

Exactly, yeah.

these young people are, I suppose, coming out and saying this.

And I think it is quite a breath of fresh air for the Fianna Fáil party to have maybe some young guns coming up saying, hey, like, let's move forward or let's do this or let's change tack.

And maybe the change tack is a change in leadership.

Now,

Micheál Martin has survived many a difficult day for Fianna Fáil and he did rebuild the party and get them back into government in 2020.

He's done a huge amount for that party but there always comes a time when questions are asked if you've been in the seat long enough and whether it's time for a new energy.

We saw this with Fianna Gael only very recently, where Leo Varadkar admitted that he wasn't the person to bring the party into the next election and he wanted to pass the baton on.

And I think, you know, that the timing of his resignation as the leader of Fianna Gael was...

the moving on to Simon Harris and that it did provide Fine Gael with a little pep in the step that they probably really needed at the time, especially going into what was a round of local and European elections and very quickly into a general election.

So I think, you know, those in Fianna Fáil are asking those questions.
