Micheál Martin has accused Enda Kenny of avoiding debate after he refused a challenge from the new Fianna Fáil leader of a three-way debate with Labour.
Green Party leader John Gormley said that he phoned Mr Martin this morning to tell him that there should only be five-way debates.
Mr Gormley said that he favoured "a series of five-way debates, in English and in Irish" with a facility to allow viewers to submit questions.
