Fine Gael ministers: Catherine Byrne should have been sacked in Eoghan Murphy row

Six Fine Gael ministers have said colleague Catherine Byrne should have been sacked over her part in a row with Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy.

Ahead of a motion of no confidence in Mr Murphy on Tuesday, Ms Byrne held last-minute talks with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to stop her voting against the Government.
