Leo Varadkarhas resigned as Ireland’s prime minister in a surprise move that he said would give his Fine Gael party the best chance of success in looming elections.
The Taoiseach, (Prime Minister), said he would quit in a noon announcement outside Government Buildings, bringing an end to his second stint as Ireland’s leader for reasons that were “both personal and political”.
He said his party can still be re-elected but after seven years in office he is not the best person for the job anymore.
