The Laois/Offaly TD is making the comments following Dara Calleary's resignation.
A midlands junior minister is calling for the oireachtas golf society committee to be disbanded.
Minister of State Sean Fleming is asking his party colleague and Ceann Comhairle Sean O'Fearghail to make the move after they organised a gathering which contravened public health advice.
Gardai have opened an investigation into the staging of the event, attended by 80 people in Clifden, Co.Galway on Wednesday.
The Laois/Offaly TD says those on the committee have serious questions to answer:
A new agriculture minister won't be appointed for another four weeks.
Taoiseach Michael Martin is stepping into the role until the Dail is back in session and a replacement for Dara Calleary can be formally proposed.
Laois/Offaly TD Sean Fleming confirmed the move this morning.
He accepts it's difficult to recall a worse start for a sitting government:
