Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said it is “regrettable” that former EU Commissioner Phil Hogan was not given due process at European level before he was forced to resign over his attendance at the event that later became known as Golfgate.

It comes as Mr Hogan has sought to blame Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Tánaiste Micheál Martin for his downfall in 2020.
