Micheál Martin says backbencher's comment comparing him to King Louis XIV was 'hurtful'

The Taoiseach defended his leadership of Fianna Fáil in an interview with Claire Byrne this morning.

Martin said being compared to King Louis XIV of France by a Fianna Fáil TD was "hurtful".

Billy Kelleher could have made a stronger presidential candidate than Jim Gavin "in hindsight", he said.

A Bertie Ahern candidacy "would have raised all the issues in terms of what transpired in the Mahon Tribunal".
