Fine Gael TD Jerry Buttimer has said he would not welcome Fianna Fáil back into government "in any shape or form".

The Cork South-Central TD says Micheal Martin and his party have done "untold damage" to the country in previous coalitions.

His comments come after Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney said if a programme for government could be agreed, he would be open to a Fine Gael-Fianna Fáil government. However, Buttimer says that would have "nothing to offer" the public.

"I personally wouldn't be in favour of letting Fianna Fail back into government under any shape or form - I think they have done untold damage to our country" he said.

"Michael Martin has been part of that government in the past - and I believe he's a busted flush and has nothing to offer the Irish people".
