Enda Kenny has been re-elected as Taoiseach, with 59 votes in favour and 49 votes against, in the fourth Dáil vote since the General Election.
Kenny is Fine Gael’s first leader to be re-elected as taoiseach. He thanked the Dáil after the vote, despite the instability going on for over two months now.
The Taoiseach said everyone must work together in the best interest of all the people.
He needed the Independent alliance to get across the line.
He said today marks a decisive shift away from a government that controls parliament.
The new Dáil, he said, will provide a space for the debate of measures rather than the usual “punch and judy” politics.
