Taoiseach defends Denis Naughten amid accusations of 'contaminating' tendering process of broadband contract
Communications Minister Denis Naughten has been accused of "contaminating" the tendering process of the multi-million national broadband contract.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has been forced to defend the Independent Minister in the Dáil, claiming a meeting he had in July with David McCourt, head of the sole remaining consortium bidding for the Government’s rural broadband scheme, was "administrative".
