Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has paid tribute to outgoing Taoiseach Micheál Martin in his Ard Fheis speech as he prepares to return to the top job.
In an impassioned speech to over 2,000 delegates at the Technological University of the Shannon in Athlone, the Fine Gael leader vowed to “stop” Sinn Féin entering Government in the next General Election.
The Tánaiste defended Fine Gael’s record in Government as he highlighted the achievements of the coalition.
