Tánaiste Leo Varadkar will meet Fine Gael senators who lost the party whip over the Golfgate controversy to discuss his actions at the time.

The matter was first raised at last week’s Fine Gael parliamentary party meeting where Mr Varadkar was criticised for not commenting on the outcome of a court case that saw criminal charges dropped against those who had organised the Oireachtas Golf Society event in August 2020.
