Pat Flanagan: RTE is obsessed with Boris Johnson and the law but is ignoring Leo Varadkar's own investigation

RTE appears obsessed with Boris Johnson’s run-ins with the law but is conveniently ignoring the criminal investigation involving Leo Varadkar - our next prime minister.

Similarly the outrage over the €294,920 salary gifted to civil servant Robert Watt got just over 20 seconds on Wednesday’s Six One News while the British PM’s “Partygate” is getting live coverage from London most days.

It would appear that RTE and many other media outlets deem it safe to gloat over Britain’s scandals but dare not mention, let alone expose, our own.
