Brexit Day is finally here, the coronavirus death toll rises to 259, and a “brutal” hate crime in Dublin. Here's what happened today

TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR and Micheál Martin have ruled out going into coalition with Sinn Féin, despite a recent poll revealing the party is continuing to perform well.

This morning, Varadkar posted a video to Twitter saying he asked his Fine Gael team if they would go into government with Mary Lou McDonald’s party. Varadkar tweeted: “I will never go into government with Sinn Féin. I asked my team if they would and they answered unequivocally. Fabulous day to canvass Cork City with @padraigosull @sandramurphy999 & @Tfitzgeraldcork #CorkNorthCentral #AnIrelandForAll #GE2020 pic.twitter.com/DV0Y9QBBozMartin, who was also on the campaign trail in Cork today, was asked about Varadkar naming a number of his candidates who he claimed said they would be open to working with Sinn Féin.

“But in the aftermath of the election I stood by my word, and I did what I said I would before the 2016 election. I didn’t talk to Sinn Féin after the election and I think we have an honest disagreement with Sinn Féin about policies. “What is clear is that Fianna Fáil is the only party that could lead a change in government with other like-minded parties.

Where was Micheál Martin & the cabinet, when Brian Lenihan jr was isolated & alone begging Europe for money to keep the lights on. Has any journalist asked him? Where were they hiding?

Saying no to something is a negative. FIanna Fáil are making assumptions that they are going to be the leading party after the election. No votes have been cast yet, you might be in for a surprise.😱

Wrong link?

Leo and Me-haul. All tanked up on 'dutch courage'. Brylcreaming their hair in the toilets of a ballroom of romance somewhere in rural Ireland in the 1920s. Agreeing about which country girl neither of them will dance with. And her not even there.
