Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-17
============================================================

Mary Lou McDonald (SF), Dublin Central

This has always been the Fine Gael way. It is the Leo Varadkar way. The episode that defines Leo Varadkar's previous term as Taoiseach is his leaking of a confidential Government document to a friend, something that he admitted to on the floor of this Dáil. While criminal proceedings were not pursued on this matter, serious questions remain.
