Leo Varadkar has denied ever leaking confidential information from cabinet.
It comes after the Tánaiste apologised to the Dáil last night for sharing a confidential document with a friend of his from a doctors union.
Varadkar spent almost two hours in the Dáil discussing the controversy.

Mr. Varadkar has said he's not close friends with the doctor he leaked a confidential GP contract to.
He said it's false to say he had anything to gain by doing so and rejected the idea that criminality or corruption was involved.
Leo Varadkar also distanced himself from Dr Maitiu O Tuathail who he shared the document with.
