Taoiseach cannot rule out general election next year despite confidence and supply extension

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says he cannot rule out a general election next year, despite Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil extending the confidence and supply deal until spring 2020.

Mr Varadkar said that while he is “not planning one”, the reality is “circumstances may arise” that could force the deal to collapse and trigger a general election.
