Varadkar says election will be 'one of the most important for generations'

The election will be "one of the most important for generations", Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said as he warned voters not to back populist promises and “amadain economics” when they vote on Saturday.

Hosting Fine Gael's final campaign press conference in Carlow this afternoon, while flanked by ministers, he also cautioned against people writing the “obituary just yet” for his party.
