The Tánaiste's leaking of a GP contract to a rival union has been made a key point in the opening night of Europe's largest tech conference.

The Irish co-founder of Web Summit, Paddy Cosgrave, made the comments about Leo Varadkar's leaking of the deal with the Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) to the National Association of General Practitioners, then led by Mr Varadkar's friend Dr Maitiú Ó Tuathail, as part of his introduction of the event's keynote speaker, Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.
