Varadkar said he didn’t want to “jump to conclusions” after four consultants had claimed that dead bodies were being left on trolleys in the mortuary

The Taoiseach said he’d seen no evidence that the claims were accurate but his response was criticised for casting doubt on the claims of the consultants. 

In his apology, Varadkar said it was “one I got wrong”. So was he right to apologise?
