End(a) of an era – Taoiseach to formally announce his resignation with President Michael D Higgins this morning




Today will be the final day in Enda Kenny’s long and eventful political career as he officially announces his resignation as Taoiseach and Fine Gael party leader.

Mr Kenny who has been Taoiseach since 2011 will vacate his role after months of growing unrest amongst those within both Dail Eireann and the Fine Gael party.

The Taoiseach who will be succeeded by Leo Varadkar on Wednesday​ morning will officially tender his resignation with the President Michael D Higgins at Aras an uachtarain.

Mr Kenny will then attend the Dail for the last time late in the morning were he will address both Fine Gael and opposition TDs who will be allowed to submit their own questions or statements.
