A senior Fine Gael source said the allegations will be a “political issue” for Mr Varadkar. The Village Magazine claim Mr Ó Tuathail also suggested to Community Hospital Ireland (CHI) founder Chay Bowe that he received the document from Mr Varadkar. RISE TD Paul Murphy said he will be writing to the Dáil Business Committee asking for time to be set aside to allow Mr Varadkar address the allegations. The Labour Party and Social Democrats also called for Mr Varadkar to make a statement. Mr Ó Tuathail has been contacted for comment but has not responded.
