SF strikes conciliatory tone towards Varadkar in private correspondence
Newly-released emails reveal that despite criticising him in public, Sinn Féin representatives were more positive when corresponding privately with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar
Sinn Féin TDs wrote to Leo Varadkar to congratulate him on his election as Taoiseach and to commend him for “hitting all the right notes” in a speech last year, newly released correspondence shows.
Despite being heavily critical of Varadkar’s government publicly, emails released by the Department of the Taoiseach strike a different tone. They show how Sinn Féin representatives regularly requested meetings with the Taoiseach to discuss the situation in the North.
