Varadkar: Appropriate for Sinn Féin's Conor Murphy to make apology to family of murdered Paul Quinn
The Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that it is appropriate that Sinn Féin Northern Minister for Finance Conor Murphy make an apology to the Quinn family for suggesting that their son Paul, believed to have been murdered by the Provisional IRA, had been involved in criminality.
Mr Varadkar, appearing at St Joseph’s College in Lucan to promote his party’s policies on gender equality and social progress, said that apology is a matter for Sinn Féin, and that he didn’t “want to make it an election issue”. “It is more of a human issue,” he said.
