It has to be said that there has been more than a whiff of misogyny about some of the comments we have heard in recent days. Even more, there has been a stench of political opportunism. Not for the first time, in recent days we have seen Deputy Micheál Martin’s willingness to send out his own senior counsel onto "Morning Ireland" to march Fianna Fáil up a hill. The confidence-and-supply agreement had been breached, we heard, again. In December of last year, we were told the agreement had been breached over the failure to advance his Judicial Appointments Bill. In April, we heard the agreement had been breached over the water issue.
