Leo Varadkar: Josepha Madigan 'didn't lobby against the methadone clinic'

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has defended two Government ministers who told voters no new methadone clinics would be built in their areas, despite widespread anger over the claims.

Mr Varadkar's comments came after Transport Minister Shane Ross followed Culture Minister Josepha Madigan in facing criticism for telling voters about the lack of new drugs units in his constituency.
