‘Fine Gael leader must leave’-Mary Lou.
‘Caithfidh ceannaire Fhine Gael imeacht’-Mary Lou.
Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald said Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar now has no choice but to resign ‘in light of the way he leaked sensitive information to a friend as Taoiseach.
Dúirt Uachtarán Shinn Féin,Mary Lou McDonald nach bhfuil an dara rogha anois ann do cheanaire Fhine Gael,Leo Varadkar ach éirí as oifig ‘i bhfianaise an bhealaigh ar sceith sé eolas íogair le cara leis agus é mar Thaoiseach.
In a written statement from Deputy McDonald, she said Taoiseach Micheál Martin should have fired the Tánaiste when the controversy over Leo Varadkar came to light last November.
I ráiteas scríofa ón Teachta McDonald, dúirt sí gur cheart don Taoiseach Micheál Martin an Tánaiste a bhriseadh as a phost nuair a tháinig an chonspóid faoi Leo Varadkar chun solais i mí na Samhna seo caite.
Central to this controversy is Tánaiste Leo Varadkar ‘The former Taoiseach’ s abuse of power under a contract reached between the Department of Health and the Association of General Practitioners (IMO) ‘ by the leader of Sinn Féin on all that has happened.
An Tánaiste Leo Varadkar atá lárnach sa chonspóid seo ‘Mí-úsáid chumhachta a bhí i gceist i gcás an iar- Thaoisigh ag tabhairt eolais faoi chonradh a dtángthas air idir an Roinn Sláinte agus Cumann na nDochtúirí Teaghlaigh (IMO)’ an cur síos atá déanta ag ceannaire Shinn Féin maidir le gach ar tharla.
Gardaí have now set up an inquiry into the way in which Matthew O’Toole, head of another medical association (NAGP) at the time, obtained information about the contract from Leo Varadkar in April 2019.
Tá fiosrúchán bunaithe anois ag na gardaí maidir leis an mbealach a bhfuair Maitiú Ó Tuathail,ceannasaí ar chumann eile dochtúirí (NAGP) ag an am, an t-eolas faoin gconradh ó Leo Varadkar in Aibreán 2019.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin, who is standing with the Tánaiste on this issue This is said to have happened before this arrangement was officially announced.
An Taoiseach Micheál Martin, atá ag seasamh leis an Tánaiste ar an gceist seo Tharla sé seo a deirtear, sula raibh an socrú seo fógraithe go hoifigiúil.
‘We put a motion of no confidence before the Dáil in November 2020’ said Mary Lou McDonald, ‘all that has happened since then in this regard confirms that we were right’.
‘Chuireamar rún mí-mhuiníne os comhair na Dála i Samhain 2020′ a dúirt Mary Lou McDonald,’gach a bhfuil tarlaithe ó shin maidir leis an scéal seo, deimhníonn sé go raibh an ceart againn’.
‘He (Leo Varadkar) has remained in office ever since as Fianna Fáil, the Green Alliance and some independent deputies are happy to keep him there,’ she said.
‘Tá sé (Leo Varadkar) fanta in oifig ó shin mar go bhfuil Fianna Fáil,Comhaontas Glas agus roinnt teachtaí neamhspleácha sásta é choinneáil ann’ a dúirt sí.
