Varadkar speech move to avoid soccer playoff clash

It appears to be Martin O’Neill 1, Leo Varadkar 0.

Fine Gael is considering moving the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s keynote address to avoid clashing with the Republic of Ireland’s make-or-break clash with Denmark, the Irish Examiner can reveal.

While party sources have insisted the national conference will not be moved from the weekend of Saturday, November 11, they have said moving the speech to an alternative time is under consideration.
