Varadkar was a fool, the EU used him and then tossed him aside.

LEO Varadkar, Ireland's former Taoiseach, is ultimately to blame for the country's post-Brexit woes as a result of his "miscalculation" that the EU would come on top, a former Irish ambassador has said.

Ray Bassett said Ireland was now “paying the price” for siding with the bloc, suggesting reality had finally begun to bite. The former ambassador to Canada, Jamaica and the Bahamas was speaking during a week when Brussels ordered Irish fishing crews to weigh all catches in port in a reversal of a previous policy, citing incidents of under-reporting.
