Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams has revealed the eh, intriguing news that he and brand new Taoiseach Leo Varadkar once attended the same pilates class.

Yes, really.

While congratulating Leo on his new appointment today Gerry Adams told the Dail that even though the two men may not share the same political views, they had a common love for the trendy workout.
