Taoiseach: Murphy should repay TD expenses if found to have broken rules

Dara Murphy should only pay back his TD expenses if it is found he broke Dáil rules, the Taoiseach has said.

Leo Varadkar has continued to defend the former Fine Gael politician who has come under fire for claiming full Oireachtas entitlements while working as director of elections for the European People's Party (EPP) and has been accused of being an “absentee” TD.
