Pat Kenny says people can 'make up their own minds' when asked if he ever took illegal drugs

Pat Kenny kicked to touch whether he has ever taken illegal drugs but said: “I lived in the US during the 60s and 70s at the time of Woodstock so make up your own mind from that.”

And while Martin quickly answered that he never done so, time seemed to stand still as Varadkar shyly said he’d already answered that question “in a Hot Press interview 10 or 12 years ago” before going on to admit “Yes, but it was obviously a long time ago.” “Now admittedly, he had already committed himself in the Hot Press interview 12 years ago so he couldn’t make a liar of himself, but at the same time, talking around my office here in Newstalk where there are a lot of young people they just found his honesty a bit refreshing and relatable.

In the interview with Hot Press in 2010, Mr Varadkar was asked if he had ever smoked cannabis, to which he replied: “I did a bit in my college years, yeah. But I wouldn’t be advocating that anybody else do the same – particularly being more aware now of the evidence linking cannabis smoking to schizophrenia”.

Poll: Is it fair to ask politicians about their own personal drug use?It made for interesting viewing last night and set many tongues wagging, so today we're asking: is it fair to ask politicians about their own personal drug use? are all leaders going to be asked this? Absolutely not. There shouldn't be any scrutiny of public officials, their health, finances and relationships. It is no one elses business but our own. It was shite. Two muppets. All the leaders should have been on. Now I see it’s the same on 4th February. Joke of a country..
