Varadkar: Referendum legal advice was wrong

The legal advice “was wrong” Transport Minister Leo Varadkar said yesterday of the process that led to the Government misusing public money on its referendum website and booklet.

The advice in question came from the office of the Attorney General, Máire Whelan, and cleared the material on the website and booklet.

But the Supreme Court found this week that elements of the website and booklet were “not fair, equal or impartial”.
