‘Don’t shirk health policy’: Enda Kenny attempts to defuse spat with Leo Varadkar
At Fine Gael’s parliamentary party gathering in Fota Island, Cork, Mr Kenny attempted to draw a line under the public spat by telling TDs and senators that he and Mr Varadkar were working as a team to sort out the country’s problems.
The remarks came after Mr Varadkar denied he had apologised to the Taoiseach for speculating that workers could be between €5-€10 a week better off in next month’s budget, and refusing to say if plans to bring in free GP care for children under the age of six would go ahead as planned this year.
