Varadkar to ditch Ministers who leak to the media
Leo Varadkar has said he'll have to ditch some of his Ministers who are prone to leaking in appointments to the next government.
It's after criticism of Fine Gael leaks to the Irish Examiner in which Ministers said there was only a 50/50 chance of a government being formed with Fianna Fáil and the Greens.
Micheál Martin has described the comments as unhelpful as the parties enter programme for government negotiations.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar agrees.
"Once again I have to apologise for some of my leaky ministers, I'll try and make sure that I have less leaky ministers the net time if I have the opportunity to appoint ministers again.
"What's happened is talks have now begun at long last between Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Greens, are we are still open to Labour and the Social Democrats to join those talks.
"We're still keeping in touch with independents who may be willing to support a new government."
