Watch as Taoiseach accused of 'stroke politics' over National Framework Plan

Update 2.45pm: Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has been accused of taking part in "stroke politics" and of "undermining" the Oireachtas amid claims he has rushed through the publication of the national framework plan to avoid a vote on its multi-billion euro details, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith and Juno McEnroe.

Opposition parties made the allegation after it emerged the plan will be automatically placed on a statutory footing just days before a bill passes through the Seanad which would have forced the Government to allow the Dáil and Seanad to vote on whether to support the findings.
