Minister for Health Leo Varadkar has today sent a vow of support for the party’s boss, saying that the Taoiseach ‘does not need to look over his shoulder.’
Questions have been raised over the last few days about Enda Kenny’s position, after the disastrous results at the polls, with many questioning the lifespan of his leadership.
Mr. Varadkar said āThe election was a defeat but not a rout,ā
ā[But] weāve been clear about this… Enda Kenny has the full support of the Fine Gael parliamentary party. He needs to know that, and he does.
Despite this show of support, and while the daggers may not be out yet, they are certainly been sharpened. As the classic saying goes, Enda shouldĀ beware of the Ides of March.
