Fine Gael is in "turmoil" over the ongoing criminal probe into Tanaiste Leo Varadkar's leak of confidential documents, according to senior party sources.

It was reported on Sunday that former health minister Simon Harris was interviewed by gardaí as part of their investigation into the leak of a GP contract by Mr Varadkar to a friend in a rival GP organisation in April 2019.
