In a heated exchange with Sinn Fein's Pearse Doherty, Deputy Prime Minister Leo Varadkar claims Sinn Fein 'receives millions of donations from vagabonds who live in a caravan'
Sinn Fein contains a"huge number of convicted criminals" including tax dodgers and murderers, Ireland's deputy prime minister Leo Varadkar has said during a heated row in the country's parliament.
But Mr Varadkar said that was a"cheap shot" and went on to accuse Sinn Fein of being a"hypocritical party" that"receives millions of donations from vagabonds who live in a caravan"."It says a lot about you, and the nature and the character of kind of person you are and it's particularly strange coming from you because you were prosecuted," Mr Varadkar said."For that you were prosecuted, you were found guilty.
He said:"I hosted a dinner last night to thank colleagues for their years of service and there was no public money involved. "That's what you do in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis and I believe she is about to announce another first-class trip to Australia, which she should be undertaking in the next couple of weeks where she'll be clinking champagne glasses with the Trinity alumni in Australia and meeting the Australian Business Association."
