Taoiseach refuses to demand resignation of Karen Bradley over Troubles shootings claims

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and other politicians have refused to demand Britain's secretary of state for Northern Ireland Karen Bradley resignation over her "dignified" Troubles shootings claims, despite criticising the remarks.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan and Fianna Fáil justice spokesman, Jim O'Callaghan stopped short of calling for Ms Bradley to be removed from office after her deeply divisive comments in the House of Commons.
