Leo Varadkar: Enda Kenny has nothing to answer for in relation to Facebook lobbying politicians




Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said his predecessor Enda Kenny has no case to answer in relation to reports contained in yesterday’s Observer Newspaper about Facebook’s international lobbying of politicians.

Speaking at a press conference in Dublin, Mr Varakar said it was up to Mr Kenny if he wanted to say anything, but he did not think he had “any case to answer”.

The article in the British newspaper includes what it says are details of internal memos about Facebook’s lobbying of politicians, including the former taoiseach.

Leo Varadkar said the Government’s relationship with Facebook was no closer than that with any other large firm that invests in Ireland and creates jobs here.
