"In these three edited extracts from his new autobiography, former taoiseach Leo Varadkar gives the inside story of some of the most dramatic moments of his political career. As the Covid pandemic raged and the public adhered to lockdown restrictions, controversy erupted over a group of politicians enjoying a day out with the Oireachtas Golf Society. Among the political casualties was then EU commissioner, Phil Hogan, with whom Varadkar says he's no longer on speaking terms."
"In these three edited extracts from his new autobiography, the former taoiseach tells the stories of why he doesn't speak to Phil Hogan, what happened at the Christmas party with that viral nightclub kiss, and why he believes the garda leak probe might have been driven by revenge"
Leo Varadkar no longer speaks to Phil Hogan following the fallout from the Oireachtas Golf Society outing. The outing occurred while the Covid pandemic raged and the public adhered to lockdown restrictions, prompting public outrage and political casualties that included then-EU commissioner Phil Hogan. A separate Christmas party produced a viral nightclub kiss that attracted further attention. Varadkar believes a subsequent garda leak probe into these events may have been motivated by revenge, intensifying the political and personal consequences of the controversies.
