Leo Varadkar: Election could be 'Valentine's Day massacre for our opponents'

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said he is keeping all options open on when to call an election ahead of seeking support from independents and smaller parties for the Dáil over the weekend.

Speaking at City Assembly House in Dublin City, Mr Varadkar also insisted that the Fine Gael-led government would have the numbers in the Dáil to see off any potential vote of confidence against Health Minister Simon Harris next month.
