Former Justice Minister Alan Shatter openly criticised party colleague Leo Varadkar in the Dáil today.
Deputy Shatter said that the Minister for Health is "misleading" people by suggesting he is the first Minister to try to overhaul surrogacy laws.
Minister Varadkar this morning announced he is planning an overhaul of the law to recognise the genetic parents of children born to surrogates.
Alan Shatter said that he was planning to include it in the Children and Family Relationships Bill - and he cannot understand why it has been removed.
"I wish he would stop pretending that he is presenting some new crusade to address an issue that no-one before he came along was interested in addressing," he said.
"It's misleading. It's misleading, and it's unfair to members of the media and those interviewing him who do not have the intimacy of knowledge of both the Bill that was published last January and of this legislation."
