Leo Varadkar is putting a visit to Irish troops in Lebanon near the top of his agenda in 2023.
The new Taoiseach was asked by the Irish Mirror if he would like to go out to see our brave soldiers on their UN mission following the terrible murder of 24 year old Private Sean Rooney earlier this month.
Mr Varadkar paid tribute to the servicemen and said that, although he already has a very busy travel schedule, he would like to get a visit to the Middle East country added to his itinerary.
