Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Dail Éireann — 2022-06-16
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I thank the Deputy. That was a cheap shot. I hosted a dinner last night to thank colleagues for their years of service. There was no public money involved. Sinn Féin hosts dinners in America, charging people €1,000 per plate to attend, and the party leader flies first class to get there. That is what Sinn Féin does in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis. I believe she is about to announce another first-class trip to Australia, which she will undertake in the coming weeks. She will be clinking champagne glasses with the Trinity alumni in Australia and meeting the Australian business association. That is a cheap shot, particularly coming from a hypocritical party like the Deputy's, which receives millions in donations from vagabonds who live in a caravan-----
