No charges will be brought against Tánaiste Leo Varadkar for leaking a confidential pay deal to a union.

Mr Varadkar had been subject to a lengthy investigation over the leaking of the pay agreement with the Irish Medical Organisation to the rival NAGP, then headed by his friend Dr Mathiu O Tuathail.
