A local TD has claimed that Fine Gael has undermined the credibility of the government by not sanctioning Leo Varadkar for his role in the GPO contract controversy.
The Tánaiste apologised in the Dail last night for sharing a doctors' contract deal with a friend of his from a rival union.
There have been calls for the Tanaiste to stand down, after admitting to sharing the contract without permission or the knowledge of the Department of Health
Sligo-Leitrim Fianna Fail TD Marc Mac Sharry feels the way Fine Gael has dealt with the controversy is different to the approach his own party took with the resignation and sacking of Dara Calleary and Barry Cowen earlier this year from the cabinet and Phil Hogan in 1995
