Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has come under fire for "throwing stones" at Sinn Féin at a time when he should be focusing on the performance of his own party.

Mr Varadkar accused Mary Lou McDonald's party of being populist but never principled during a speech to mark the centenary of the Dáil vote on the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
