Micheál Martin rules out appointing deputy Fianna Fáil leader

Micheál Martin has ruled out appointing a deputy leader of the Fianna Fáil party.

Although Taoiseach Enda Kenny has reappointed James Reilly as Fine Gael deputy leader, Mr Martin said there is no such position in his party.

Mr Martin said that his aim, now, was for the party to gain a seat in all constituencies where they had none, and a second in other constituencies.
