The Taoiseach claims his party didn't attempt to stop RTÉ posting a video of his interaction with a care worker in North Cork last Friday
The Irish Daily Mail is today reporting Fine Gael figures contacted the State Broadcaster to raise concerns over how the video would be featured.
Simon Harris has said he made a mistake when speaking to Charlotte Fallon in a supermarket in Kanturk last Friday.
The Taoiseach says he's not aware of any attempts from his party to stop the video from being posted
"God no I don't believe so. I mean, this clip was always I mean this, this is a very serious moment on the campaign, it 's quite right that it was broadcast, I always expected that to be the case"
