Taoiseach says partner Matt Barrett's coronation posts were 'irreverent'

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said he has spoken to his partner Matt Barrett about comments made on his Instagram about King Charles' coronation.

He said that it "won't’ happen again" as Mr Varadkar agreed that the commentary provided by the cardiologist on a private Instagram account was "irreverent".

On Monday night, Dr Barrett said it was "poor judgement" and he "unreservedly apologise[s] for any offence caused".
