Keelings controversy: Leo Varadkar orders urgent review after fruit picker charter flight lands in Ireland

The chief medical officer said such travel was not consistent with public health advice.

The Taoiseach has ordered an urgent review after a charter flight brought almost 200 seasonal workers into Ireland during the coronavirus lockdown.

The flight from Sofia arrived at Dublin Airport earlier this week, transporting 189 Bulgarian workers to be deployed on fruit farms owned by Dublin company Keelings.
