At the World Economic Forum in Davos in January, he declined to say if he thought there would be a united Ireland in his lifetime. Mr Varadkar also said some people were “reading too much” into the crowds attending a concert by The Wolfe Tones at The Electric Picnic. “I was at Electric Picnic. I didn’t get a chance to see The Wolfe Tones or The Saw Doctors. You know I probably have a more sanguine view of this than other people. People like ballads and they like songs they can sing along to. I think some people maybe read too much in to the politics of this,” he said.
