The Taoiseach says he'll be meeting with Maria Bailey next week to discuss the swing claim controversy.
The Fine Gael TD dropped a personal injuries claim over the weekend after she allegedly fell off a swing at a Dublin hotel.
The controversy has overshadowed her party's local and European election campaigns.
Mrs Bailey claimed that she suffered injuries to her head, lower back and hip after falling backward off the swing in the well-known hotel.
However on Saturday Deputy Bailey said that she decided to withdraw the case because it’s ‘a distraction from her political work’.
Speaking last night Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says that he wants to hear her side of the story: 'She's somebody who's a TD who's elected by her constituents, but obviously I'll need to meet her next week to discuss the recent controversy, I'd like to hear her side of the story before rushing to any judgements'.
