Fianna Fáil leader’s formal appointment to return to role of taoiseach comes after earlier chaotic scenes in the Dáil
The Irish parliament has elected Micheál Martin as prime minister, 24 hours after chaotic scenes in the Dáil caused the cancellation of his formal appointment.
Martin’s return to the role of taoiseach comes after a group of regional independent TDs (members of parliament), who are propping up his government, agreed a compromise to delay talks to resolve the dispute that derailed what should have been a set-piece ceremony on Wednesday.
