Varadkar continues efforts to secure Taoiseach position

Leo Varadkar’s to hold further meetings today in his bid to secure enough votes to be elected Taoiseach in the Dáil next week.

Last night the Fine Gael leader and Independent Alliance held what both described as a positive and constructive meeting.

Today he’ll meet other independent ministers including Katherine Zappone and Denis Naughten as well as Fianna Fáil.
