Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I accept, as I said in my statement, that this is not the way I should have gone about this. It was a document that I shared on a confidential basis with the president of the NAGP, an organisation that represented hundreds, if not thousands, of GPs. I wanted to get them on board, or at least that they would not oppose it and to demonstrate to it that there was nothing in it that had not publicly been announced. I accept the way I went about this was not right. I was mistaken in that regard and I should have done it in a different way. I could have and should have. I totally accept that, I have learned from it and I will not do it again.
