Leo Varadkar's partner Matt Barrett has criticised the photographing of the Tánaiste at a London music festival, saying it shows some people will “celebrate” the violation of another's privacy. Mr Varadkar was criticised online after a picture of him, taken unbeknownst to him, at the Mighty Hoopla festival in London was widely circulated on social media last Saturday. At that meeting, Mr Varadkar said Britain was "not an example to follow" when it came to reopening. "This episode demonstrates that not only are privacy and dignity not expected, but that people will celebrate their violation," Mr Barrett wrote. Last week, the Taoiseach said Mr Varadkar is “entitled” to his private time and what he chooses to do with it "is a matter for him."
