Former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has announced that he will not stand in the next general election.
He joins numerous Fine Gael TDs who say that they will not be contesting the next election, becoming the 14th party member to announce their departure.
Varadkar told a meeting of the Fine Gael Dublin West Constituency Organisation this evening that he wants to give potential nominees enough time to prepare for the constituency selection convention in September.
45-yr-old Varadkar said that he was not seeking nomination and that he’s going to look at other opportunities.
