There have been calls for Tánaiste Leo Varadkar to step aside while Gardaí investigate his alleged leak of a confidential Government document to a friend.

The then Taoiseach confirmed he shared a copy of an agreement between the State and the Irish Medical Organisation with the president of the National Association of General Practitioners in April 2019.

However, a spokesperson for Mr Varadkar said his legal advice is that he has committed no criminal offence.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, Fine Gael TD for Dun Laoghaire, and Martin Kenny, Sinn Féin TD for Sligo-Leitrim, joined us to discuss what should happen now.
