Taoiseach Micheál Martin has given his backing to the Tánaiste after Sinn Féin called for Leo Varadkar to resign over the leaking of a GP contract. Mr Varadkar has apologised over the affair and has said his legal advice is that he “committed no offence”. "He has only remained in office because Fianna Fáil, the Greens and a number of independents are keeping him there. As part of the Coalition’s rotating Taoiseach deal, Mr Varadkar is set to become Taoiseach again in 2022. In the case of Mr Varadkar case, he said the gardaí have to do their job and investigate the complaint.
