However the Fine Gael rep says it's time to move on.
Junior Minister Peter Burke says he understands the frustration from Fianna Fáil TDs over the Katherine Zappone controversy.
Laois-Offaly TD Barry Cowen is among those voicing their anger over the debacle, warning Fianna Fáil is far from united behind its government colleagues.
Longford-Westmeath Fine Gael TD Peter Burke agrees that the appointment of former minister Zappone to a newly-created UN role was wrong.
But he says it's now time to move on to more pressing issues:
