Sligo-Leitrim TD Marc MacSharry has launched a stinging criticism of the Taoiseach as he confirms he's leaving Fianna Fail.
In a statement the Deputy says Michael Martin failed to allow proper investigation into a claim of bullying made against him by a local councillor.
The now Independent TD alleges the Taoiseach used the complaint for political gain at national level to delay and prevent his re-admission to Fianna Fail, which had been expected in recent weeks.
Deputy MacSharry originally resigned the party whip over the Katherine Zappone controversy last year.
