Golfgate: Phil Hogan 'clearly breached' Covid rules

European Commissioner Phil Hogan

The Government has piled fresh pressure on embattled EU commissioner Phil Hogan by stating he “clearly breached” public health guidelines during his time in Ireland.

In a damning statement released late on Tuesday, Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar, and Communications Minister Eamon Ryan also said Mr Hogan’s “delayed and hesitant release of information has undermined public confidence”.
