“Extremely miserable.”
“Thar a bheith míchu.”
by Varadkar sharing a document.
ag Varadkar cáipéis a roinnt.
Opposition parties have strongly criticized Tánaiste Leo Varadkar for sharing a confidential document setting out the new contract for GPs when he was Taoiseach in April last year.
Tá an Tánaiste Leo Varadkar cáinte go láidir ag páirtithe an fhreasúra faoi gur roinn sé cáipéis rúnda a raibh an conradh nua do dhochtúirí teaghlaigh leagtha amach inti nuair a bhí sé in Thaoiseach i mí Aibreáin anuraidh.
Leo Varadkar is due to make a statement in the Dáil tomorrow on his decision to hand over a copy of the Department of Health ‘s agreement with the Irish Medical Association to another union – the National Association of General Practitioners.
Tá Leo Varadkar le ráiteas a thabhairt sa Dáil amárach faoina chinneadh cóip den chomhaontú a bhí déanta ag an Roinn Sláinte le Ceardchumann Dochtúirí na hÉireann a thabhairt ar láimh do cheardchumann eile – Cumann Náisiúnta na nDochtúirí Teaghlaigh.
Although the Tánaiste acknowledged at the weekend that it was not good practice to hand over the document, he denied that it had broken the law.
Cé gur admhaigh an Tánaiste ar an deireadh seachtaine nár den dea- chleachtas é an cháipéis a thabhairt ar láimh, shéan sé gur sháraigh an dlí.
Sinn Féin health spokesman David Cullinane accused Leo Varadkar of making “despicable apologies.”
Chuir urlabhraí sláinte Shinn Féin David Cullinane i leith Leo Varadkar gur ag déanamh “leithscéalta suarach.”
he was to defend himself in the latest political controversy.
a bhí sé chun é fein a chosaint ar an gconspóid pholaitiúil is deireanaí.
Aodhán Ó Ríordáin from the Labor Party said that that party was of the opinion that what the Tánaiste had done was very inappropriate.
Duirt Aodhán Ó Ríordáin ó Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre go bhfuil an páirtí sin den tuairim go raibh an méid a rinne an Tánaiste thar a bheith míchuí.
Speaking on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, Deputy Ó Ríordáin indicated that the Tánaiste will be asked if other documents have been shared in this way ever before or since.
Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, thug an Teachta Ó Ríordáin le fios go mbeifear ag fiafraí den Tánaiste ar roinneadh cáipéisí eile ar an gcaoi seo riamh roimhe sin nó ó shin.
Dr Matthew O’Toole said Ríordánach believed that Leo Varadkar had given the document to the National Association of General Practitioners because he was indebted to the president of that organization, Dr Matthew O’Toole.
An Dr Maitiú Ó Tuathail Dúirt an Ríordánach gur chreid sé gur thug Leo Varadkar an cháipéis do Chumann Náisiúnta na nDochtúirí Teaghlaigh mar go raibh sé mór le huachtarán na heagraíochta sin, an Dr Maitiú Ó Tuathail.
Justice Minister Helen Mc Entee said she did not know why the Tánaiste shared the document but would answer all questions in the Dáil tomorrow.
Dúirt an tAire Dlí agus Cirt Helen Mc Entee nach raibh a fhios aicise cén fáth ar roinn an Tánaiste an cháipéis ach go bhfreagródh sé gach ceist sa Dáil amárach.
