Leo Varadkar ‘shafted’ by Enda Kenny as chaos marks government formation
After 70 days and on the fourth attempt, Mr Kenny was yesterday re-elected Taoiseach in the Dáil, by a margin of 59 votes to 49, thus becoming the first Fine Gael leader to do so in history.
The formation of the new Government yesterday was marked by chaos as the deal with the Independent Alliance and the rural TDs was on the verge of collapse, minutes before the Dáil vote was scheduled.
