Micheál Martin: Leo Varadkar’s Jobstown comments set ‘dangerous precedent’

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has said Taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s comments about the Jobstown trial set “a dangerous precedent”.

He took issue with Mr Varadkar’s pointed criticisms of the Garda handling of the Jobstown protest which saw six defendants cleared of all charges last week.

Mr Varadkar, in an RTÉ Prime Time interview, said the gardaí and Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan should “look into” the evidence given by officers at the trial.
