Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that he is proud to walk in the St Patrick’s Day parade in New York on Saturday alongside his partner Matt, as he made his final engagement of his week-long trip to the United States.
Speaking in New York after his attendance at the annual mayor’s breakfast, Mr Varadkar said he had nothing further to add on the Doonbeg controversy, though he confirmed that he did not have any contact with Donald Trump after his email to Failte Ireland.
