Fianna Fáil leader not concerned about potential challenge to his leadership
Micheál Martin says he isn't phased by the suggestion that some of his TDs have been talking about ousting him as Fianna Fáil leader.
Martin has come under increasing pressure amid poor opinion polls and the very slow process of forming a new government.
It's led to reports some of his TDs are looking at lining up a replacement as leader of Fianna Fáil.
Micheál Martin says he's not phased by that speculation - and he's still talking to Leo Varadkar about who will be Taoiseach first in the next government.
"That's a matter we will deal with.
"But in the first instance we have to get the programme for government organised.
"We're in very early days unfortunately, and I would like to think we'd know a lot more by the end of this week."
