No Áras return for Enda Kenny as government talks continue

Caretaker Taoiseach Enda Kenny will not have to go to Áras an Uachtaráin today if he fails to win enough votes to form a new government.

An Oireachtas spokesperson has confirmed the Fine Gael leader will instead be allowed continue negotiations, with a timeline for the next vote to be set by the Dáil itself.

After a number of nominees failed in their bids to become taoiseach on March 10, Mr Kenny was forced to travel to Áras an Uachtaráin to give his resignation to President Michael D Higgins.
