Tánaiste Believes A United Ireland Can Happen Within His Lifetime.

Labour leader has questioned the timing of those comments.

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said a United Ireland can happen within his lifetime.

Varadkar said it will take a redesigning of the island taking the best of both countries.

He said he intends to set up a branch of Fine Gael in Northern Ireland.

But Leo Varadkar warned it can't be an annexation of the North:
