The Tánaiste will face a motion of no-confidence in the Dáil tomorrow as Sinn Féin and the opposition continue to question his reasons for passing of a confidential document to a GPs' union.

Leo Varadkar did take questions in the Dáil last week on the matter during a two-hour session which saw opposition TDs pour scorn on his explanation of how and why he passed a GP contract — agreed with the Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) and marked confidential — to the rival National Association of General Practitioners (NAGP), then headed by a friend of his, Dr Maitiú Ó Tuathail.
