Taoiseach Micheál Martin has cleared the way for Sligo TD Marc MacSharry to be readmitted to the Fianna Fáil party next week.

At the weekly parliamentary party meeting, the Taoiseach addressed the request last week from Barry Cowen which was supported by Senator Diarmuid Wilson that Mr MacSharry be re-admitted to the Parliamentary Party.
