The Taoiseach says Fianna Fáil is still committed to a United Ireland.
On Thursday, Micheal Martin said a border poll would not be on the government's agenda, for the next five years.
But speaking at the McGill Summer School this afternoon, the Taoiseach says he isn't straying from a core Fianna Fáil policy.
He says to suggest otherwise is 'nonsense': "Fianna Fáil is committed to a United Ireland, but it didn't stop Sean Lemmas from meeting Terrance O'Neill or indeed Bertie Ahearn from that historic breakthrough with Tony Blair.
"I think it is a very false and frankly ill-informed position to adopt to suggest that putting forward a shared island agenda within the context of the Good Friday Agreement is somehow straying from Fianna Fáil policy."
