The Tánaiste has been accused of "throwing Dr Maitiú Ó Tuathail under the bus and then reversing over him".

Taking Leaders' Questions in the Dáil, Leo Varadkar denied the charge from Sinn Féin's Pearse Doherty, saying that he had taken "sole responsibility" for leaking the document to Dr Ó Tuathail, the former president of the now-defunct NAGP.
