Varadkar's remarks on NPHET advice spark controversy
Tanaiste Leo Varadkar has been asked to withdraw his comments on NPHET's advice on last night’s Claire Byrne Live show.
The Tanaiste's interview was remarkable in that it exposed a clear divide between Government and NPHET and also hinted at disagreements between the HSE and NPHET.
Here are some excerpts from the interview:
'They don't advise the public. They advise the Government. And the Government decides"
"We asked for some comfort that four weeks would be enough"
