Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has called on EU Commissioner for Trade Phil Hogan to "listen to the Taoiseach and Tánaiste" and consider resigning due to the fallout from the Oireachtas golf society dinner.
Minister Donnelly told RTÉ's Morning Ireland programme Mr Hogan should "consider his position" as the impact of the golf event in Clifden, Co Galway, last week has "eroded people's confidence" in Covid-19 safety measures. "What happened in Galway is an absolute disgrace.
It is a slap in the face for every man woman and family who has made sacrifices in so many different ways. "I believe the Commissioner [Phil Hogan] should listen to the Taoiseach and Tánaiste and I agree with their position that he should consider his position,"
