Enda Kenny: I haven’t changed mind on stepping down

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has insisted he has not changed his mind on stepping down as leader of Fine Gael.

Following a heated exchange in Montreal yesterday over a question about the leadership, Mr Kenny today insisted he did not take umbrage at the question, but will not be speaking about the issue on foreign trade trips.

“Well now for your information, I didn’t take umbrage at all. I came here on a trade and investment mission to meet with the Canadian prime minister to discuss the opportunities of CETA that work both ways,” he said.
