Ógra Fianna Fáil calls for Varadkar to resign

The youth wing of the party said it was 'deeply concerned' with Mr Varadkar's conduct after he attended an event organised by former children's minister Katherine Zappone

Ógra Fianna Fáil said Mr Vardakar had 'undermined the integrity' of the institutions of the State and said his response to his attendance becoming public knowledge 'scars the Government'.

The youth wing of Fianna Fáil has called for Tánaiste Leo Varadkar to resign.

While the senior ranks of the party have rowed in behind their coalition partner, Ogra Fianna Fáil said in a statement on Tuesday it was "deeply concerned" with Mr Varadkar's conduct after he attended an event organised by former children's minister Katherine Zappone at the Merrion Hotel last month.
