Former Fine Gael minister Michael Ring has launched a blistering attack on Stephen Donnelly and called on the Tánaiste to raise the health minister's mistakes with the Taoiseach.

In what was described as a "clear and vicious attack" on Mr Donnelly, the Mayo TD told his Fine Gael colleagues that the minister is suffering from "foot in microphone" disease.
