Leo Varadkar's partner Matt Barrett has criticised the photographing of the Tánaiste at a London music festival, saying it shows some people will “celebrate” the violation of another's privacy.

Mr Varadkar was criticised online after a picture of him, taken unbeknownst to him, at the Mighty Hoopla festival in London was widely circulated on social media last Saturday.
