Members of Fianna Fáil have hit out at Taoiseach Micheál Martin over the handling of issues which led to the resignation of Marc MacSharry.

However, those who supported the Sligo TD in recent weeks have vented anger, saying neither side has come out well, suggesting Mr MacSharry had the support within the parliamentary party to have been readmitted in the coming weeks.
