Dara Calleary is one of the front runners to succeed Micheal Martin.
The Minister for Rural Affairs says the Taoiseach is bringing experience and a calm head into massive global uncertainty, but it's important to listen to dissenting voices.
Dara Calleary's name is one of a number of front runners to succeed the Fianna Fail leader before the next general election.
It comes after sustained ciriticism of the party's handling of the fuel price protests earlier this month from the likes of Midlands Senator Joe Flaherty among others.
Minister Calleary is in Laois today to open a number of community hubs.
He says Fianna Fail is ready to listen to people:
