Martin: Nulty 'did the right thing' by resigning

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has said that Dublin West TD Patrick Nulty was right to resign after having admitted to sending 'inappropriate messages to female constitutents' - among them a 17-year-old girl.

The Independent TD, 31, stepped down with immediate effect last night as the revelations were to be published in The Sunday World newspaper.
