The failed appointment of Katherine Zappone to a UN role in New York has dominated headline

A Fianna Fail backbencher believes the party has confidence in the Foreign Affairs Minister.

The party is due to meet for its annual think-in in Cavan today and tomorrow, before the return of the Dail next week.

The failed appointment of Katherine Zappone to a UN role in New York has dominated headlines for the last number of weeks.

Sinn Fein says it will table a motion of No Confidence in Minister Simon Coveney, if the Taoiseach doesn't remove him from office.

Junior Minister Colm Brophy believes this is political point scoring.

Fianna Fail TD Paul McAuliffe, says although the handling of Special Envoy role was wrong, his party fully supports Minister Coveney
