Leo Varadkar landed himself in hot water on his US visit last week when he said he contacted the local authority here over concerns that Donald Trump raised about a wind farm near his Doonbeg resort a number of years ago.

He later clarified that it was in fact Fáilte Ireland he made contact with on the issue.
