On Wednesday's Inside Politics podcast, Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin says he is worried the Government has not been prudent enough to prepare us for a Brexit economic storm, but insists any rainy-day fund can't come at the expense of services.

He also speaks about his disappointment with Theresa May’s Brexit speech on Wednesday, in which she signalled her desire for a hard Brexit.

Mr Martin also comments on Sinn Féin's "arrogance" in the Northern Ireland Executive and the message Ireland must send to US president-elect Donald Trump.
