Taoiseach: Reilly has Govt's 'absolute backing', different view from Labour politicians

The Taoiseach has said embattled Health Minster James Reilly has the "absolute backing" of the Government, but a number of Labour Party politicians said Mr Reilly's position was untenable.

Mr Reilly faces a grilling this afternoon in the Dáil after fresh claims that one of two sites he added to a list of priority primary care centres is owned by a political contact of his.
