Politicians condemn Sinn Féin TD's 'frightening' legal action against journalist

Sinn Féin's Chris Andrews is taking legal action against The Irish Times and its political correspondent.

Legal action by a TD against a journalist is "frightening" and "wrong", the Taoiseach has told the Dáil.

Leo Varadkar was speaking after it emerged Sinn Féin TD Chris Andrews is suing both The Irish Times and its Political Correspondent Harry McGee personally over an article published last month.
