Tánaister Leo Varadkar is in favour of a national inquiry into how Ireland handled the pandemic but says it should not solely focus on how nursing homes were hardest hit.

Mr Varadkar believes a more general inquiry should be held when the pandemic is finally over, warning that “this might not be the last major pandemic in our lifetime."
