Micheal Martin: FF demands must be met by FG in the budget

Update 4.20pm: Fianna Fáil will not call off its fragile deal with Fine Gael or seek to re-negotiate its details if Taoiseach Enda Kenny is replaced as leader of the Government party before the agreement runs out writes Political reporter Fiachra Ó Cionnaith.

Opposition leader Micheal Martin clarified the situation on the first day of his party's two-day pre-Dáil think-in at the Seven Oaks Hotel in Co Carlow, saying "personalities" will not dictate the support he is providing.
