The Taoiseach has indicated he would be open to allowing former party colleague Bertie Ahern back into Fianna Fail.
Micheal Martin said that he has been engaging with the former taoiseach in recent times, particularly about issues around the Northern Ireland Protocol.
On Wednesday evening, it was proposed during the Fianna Fail parliamentary party that Mr Ahern should be allowed to make a return to the party as part of its plans to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.
