Taoiseach to get legal advice on Damien English's failure to declare property interest

Mr Varadkar said that he will seek legal advice on whether the now-former Fine Gael junior minister has breached any planning law

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar (pictured) also said Mr English has paid the ultimate price and it was not necessary for him to also resign as a TD.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said he will seek legal advice on whether Fine Gael TD Damien English has breached any planning laws.

Mr Varadkar was speaking to reporters in Belfast following a meeting with all five parties in Northern Ireland. Mr English resigned as minister of state at the Department of Enterprise over a failure to properly declare a property interest.
