Enda Kenny rejected new Fianna Fail leader Michael Martin’s call for a 3 way leadership debate in the run up to the election.
At his inaugural press conference Mr Martin made the announcement that he had contacted Mr Kenny regarding the intended discussions heralding “different kind of politics.”
The proposal would have included leaders of Fine Gael and the Labour party, Enda Kenny and Eamon Gilmore. Plans were also indicated for 1 on 1 debates and a debate in the Irish language.
Mr Kenny has instead called for Sinn Fein and the Green party to be included in the leadership debates.
The FG leader said deputy Martin was “not in a position to dictate anything about television debates.””
