Fine Gael Fianna Fail Sinn Fein opinion poll December 2018

This follows the party’s recent annual think-in on housing and on health.

The leader of the Fianna Fáil party, Micheál Martin, will be interviewed by Ryan Tubridy on The Late Late Show this Friday night.

In a wide-ranging interview, the leader of the opposition will chat to Tubridy about his time leading the political party over the past decade, rebuilding it over the years and their vision going forward.

He’ll be discussing the decision to support the current Fine Gael-led Government through a confidence and supply motion, how he thinks that has impacted on Fianna Fáil’s popularity with the electorate and how long more that agreement might last.

And he’ll also be asked what he really thinks of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald.

Ryan will also be chatting to Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen, the two women behind the publishing phenomenon that started with the huge success of Oh My God, What A Complete Aisling.

Now onto their second novel and with a film in development, they’ll be telling viewers where the inspiration for the Aisling books comes from and why they think it has connected so well with audiences.

As he prepares to take to the stage at the 3 Arena for the first time, Laois man and Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick will also be in to chat to Tubridy about how he came to be the star of one of Channel 4’s most popular shows.

Sports broadcaster Des Cahill too joins Ryan to chat about uncovering some unexpected family secrets in his new book, Play It Again, Des.

Plus, music from Kodaline and Sibéal, who will be performing her stunning version of The Cranberries’ ‘Linger’ as Gaeilge.

The Late Late Show airs on RTÉ One, Friday, 21 September at 9.35pm
