A Sinn Féin-led government south of the border would pose “a very high risk”, but the party’s powers are limited at Stormont’s institutions, Leo Varadkar has said.

The Taoiseach was speaking about his warnings that a Sinn Féin government would “make Ireland broke again”, while also praising the return of powersharing in Northern Ireland.
