Leo Varadkar Facing Questions As Judge Appointment Row Continues

The Tanaiste is being asked to clarify his conversations with the Justice Minister on the appointment of Supreme Court judge Seamus Woulfe.

Helen McEntee says Leo Varadkar told her Mr Woulfe would make a good judge, before she had seen the other candidates.
People Before Profit's Deputy Brid Smith's party has tabled a Dail motion seeking to have Justice Woulfe removed as a Supreme Court judge in the wake of the Golfgate controversy.
