You're going to see vehicles at some point.

I think that the difficulty with that one was there was an expectation from Wednesday

that you're going to see the army deployed.

And when it didn't arrive till the following Saturday.

And Saturday was what exactly the Defence Force were going to do.

I mean, we have what we call aid to the civil power.

And aid to the civil power, part of that is, well, the Gardaí don't have certain vehicles, but the army have them.

So the army use them on behalf of the Gardaí.

That includes the helicopter and the plane that flies most of the time.

And definitely there is no question of doubt.

And that's why I disagree with Mick, I think.

I think there is a disconnect between the leadership and the membership.

Mick makes a point about 2014.

In 2014, Fianna Fáil still wasn't too sure where it was going.

2016 election, Fianna Fáil had a recovery of sorts.

They didn't.

No, they chose not to act.

And that's why this won't go ahead.

Because what you've had so far is you've had a couple of declarations.

You've had two of the abusive candidates, Derek Leary and Jim McCallaghan, say that they have confidence in Micheál Martin and that they wouldn't be supporting a motion of no confidence.
