But I suppose, do you believe under Micheál Martin, though, that the party is somewhat drifted from its Republican ethos?
I mean, you are a minister who has previously left the door open for going into government with Sinn Féin, something your party leaders emphatically ruled out.
You're also considered far more considered on the issue of a United Ireland as Leo Varadkar was.
So there's an inner shinner there, isn't there?
Do you accept, though, Minister, that, you know, as the sort of, you know, successor, as it were, in waiting, and we would have seen this in our recent poll figures, we should just touch a little bit on the response to the fuel protests, I think, because that did appear to damage you politically.
Do you accept that you made a mistake during that period when the army was due to be called in and did not show up?
Just as your own trajectory in your own career.
I mean, you may be Taoiseach one day.
And it was your sister, Meir Mill Callaghan, who actually told the Irish Times, why should my career be impacted by a man?
Congrats to him on having his career.
But my career is my career.
The day of patriarchy is dead.
Can I ask, did you discuss those comments with your sister?
And just on that, I mean, I would make the point that I know who Mithil Martin is.
I know who Simon Harris is, certainly.
And I know who Mary Lou MacDonald is.
Who is Jim O'Callaghan?
So after months of upheaval in the party and backbiting in parliamentary party meetings and no heave, no heave and no heave again, do you think Fianna Fáil is a united party going into tomorrow?
