Varadkar’s confidence and supply talks Brexit claim ‘absurd’ says Martin

Fianna Fáil leader, Micheál Martin, has dubbed “absurd” claims that holding off the confidence-and-supply talks would impact on Brexit negotiations.

Mr Martin has questioned the seriousness of the Taoiseach’s suggestion for early talks, to hammer out a successor to the current deal, with Fianna Fáil accusing him of “political gamesmanship”.
