Varadkar accused of 'abusing the office of Taoiseach' over GP contract leak

Sinn Féin's Pearse Doherty said Mr Varadkar would not have survived a motion of no confidence tabled against him late last year if all of the information around the leaking of the document was available at the time.

Leo Varadkar has been accused of "abusing the office of the Taoiseach" by using his former position to leak a GP contract document.

Mr Varadkar has contacted the gardaí through his solicitors following a complaint made against him after it emerged that he had passed the confidential GP contract to the head of the National Association of General Practitioners (NAGP).
