Tánaiste Micheál Martin has strongly defended the UN following harsh criticisms from President Michael D Higgins who said the organisation is "losing credibility".
As world leaders, including the Taoiseach and Tánaiste, gather at UN headquarters in New York this week, President Higgins has taken aim at what he described as the "falling" organisation.
