Minister Patrick O'Donovan is currently recovering in hospital.
The Tánaiste says he will "not be pointing fingers" after an anonymous comment was made within his party about Minister Patrick O'Donovan's future in Cabinet.
It follows an article published by the Sunday Times recently, in which an unnamed Cabinet insider questioned whether the Culture Minister would make it past next year's reshuffle.
Minister O'Donovan is currently recovering in hospital, after falling ill while attending an EU Presidency event in Limerick.
Before the event, Patrick O'Donovan had criticised anonymous briefings questioning if his health would result in him losing his Cabinet position.
Fine Gael TD for Offaly John Clenndennen says it is not helpful to speculate:
