Enda Kenny will 'not oversee another budget' say six Fine Gael ministers

Taoiseach Enda Kenny will not oversee another budget and will have to be gone by next summer, senior Fine Gael ministers have said.

Not one of the six ministers spoken to by the Irish Examiner in the past few days said they believe Mr Kenny would be still in office come 2018, as he has recently indicated.

“No way he stays until 2018. He has done his last budget and the summer time seems likely when he steps down,” one minister said.
