Leo Varadkar gave an interview to the Sunday World this week in which he responded to Miley.
He said, 'I welcome Miley, or indeed anyone, reaching out to me.'
'We don’t have any data on whether COVID has affected black and minority ethnic group people more than white people in Ireland the way it has in America and Britain. We need to find out.'
The Fine Gael leader continued, 'The information we have is that COVID has affected affluent households in Ireland more than disadvantaged ones which is very different to America and Britain.'
Varadkar finished by saying, 'Black Lives Matter.'
