Sinn Féin has called on Leo Varadkar to resign or be sacked after a Garda inquiry into his leaking of a confidential document was upgraded to a criminal probe.

Mary Lou McDonald called the leak of a doctors’ pay agreement by the then-Taoiseach to his friend “an abuse of power” and said “politically this can’t be tolerated”.
