Taoiseach's interaction with care worker 'defining moment' of election campaign

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said that after 14 years in Government, Fine Gael has forgotten that the decisions taken at Cabinet have lived consequences out on the ground.

A still from the video clip of Taoiseach and Fine Gael leader Simon Harris meeting disability worker Charlotte Fallon in Kanturk, Co Cork, on Friday night. 

The Taoiseach has given people a "glimpse" of what another Fine Gael government would look like in his interaction with a care worker, Mary Lou McDonald has said.

Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman has also said he believes the incident represents a "defining moment" in the campaign, stressing the importance of listening to the public.
