Taoiseach Micheál Martin was subject to a scathing attack from his own TDs over his failure to take a tougher stance on the Leo Varadkar controversy.

During some heated exchanges, Mr Martin was branded “a disgrace” by Sligo-Leitrim TD Marc MacSharry who accused his leader of being the cause of the party’s poor poll ratings.
