Leo Varadkar's attendance at a party hosted by former minister Katherine Zappone has "undermined public confidence," the Green Party leader has said.

Eamon Ryan has also admitted that he "regrets" attending a separate party organised by Green Party candidate Claire Byrne as a thank-you for those who helped her campaign in the recent Dublin Bay South by-election.
