The Taoiseach says he will be meeting with Maria Bailey next week to discuss the swing claim controversy.
The Fine Gael TD dropped a personal injuries claim over the weekend after she allegedly fell off a swing at a Dublin hotel.
The controversy has overshadowed her party's local and European election campaigns.
Leo Varadkar says he wants to hear her side of the story.

"She's somebody who's a TD, who's elected by our constituents but obviously I'll need to meet her next week and discuss with her the recent controversy," he said.
"Haven't had a chance to do that yet so I'd like to hear her side of the story rushing to any judgments."
