Taoiseach Leo Varadkar ‘not contemplating’ Sinn Fein deal

The Taoiseach is “not contemplating” a confidence and supply deal with Sinn Féin or other parties if a new agreement cannot be reached with Fianna Fáil.

As speculation mounts that an election could soon be called, Leo Varadkar said it is “always prudent to be ready for all eventualities” but his party wants to remain in power until 2020.
