Carlow Councillor Brian O’Donoghue believes Leo Varadkar comments re rural/urban divide ‘were wrong’

Leo Varadkar’s comments about the rural/urban divide won’t have done current Fine Gael leader Simon Harris any favours, according to one Carlow Councillor.

Fellow Fine Gaeler Cllr Brian O’Donoghue hopes that his party can put his former leader’s comments behind them and get on with governing as he outlined to KCLR News’ Dermot Keyes;
