The Taoiseach has said he regrets "ill-judged" and "off the cuff" comments made at a Washington event which referenced former President Bill Clinton.

Referring to his time spent as an intern in Washington DC, Leo Varadkar told an event that he had worked in Congress during the last year of the Clinton presidency "when parents might have had cause for concern about what happened to interns" in the city.
