Taoiseach Micheál Martin says he has confidence in Leo Varadkar, despite growing pressure on the Tánaiste after it emerged he passed confidential documents outlining a pay deal between the Irish Medical Organisation and the Government to the rival National Association for GPs (NAGP).

Mr Martin further said that he does not believe Mr Varadkar broke any laws in doing this.
