Varadkar: Holohan apology 'is good enough for me'

Leo Varadkar has said that the apology of Sinn Féin councillor Paddy Holohan for comments made about the Taoiseach personally “is good enough for me”, but has said your background should “not matter in the kind of society that I believe in.

At a campaign stop in Longford town to give a boost to local councillor Micheal Carrigy’s bid for the Dáil, the Taoiseach said that “anyone in Ireland from a minority background, whether mixed race or gay or lesbian has experienced some form of racism or homophobia in their lives”.
