Leo Varadkar got whacked with a microphone during last night's Election Special

LAST NIGHT’S ELECTION Special on RTÉ took a sinister turn when our Minister for Health found himself the victim of a mic attack.

The debate, which took part at the Facebook HQ, was broadcast on RTÉ 2 last night. Varadkar was one of the most talked about participants, but not for the right reasons.

He got loafed out of it by a microphone.

Whoops!
