Ministers unsure on Enda Kenny exit plan

Several ministers remain unconvinced Taoiseach Enda Kenny will resign as Fine Gael leader tomorrow and instead may signal a date later in May or June wherein he would step aside.

Ahead of a highly-anticipated party meeting tomorrow where Mr Kenny has promised to address the leadership, there is increasing speculation about the contenders and who might back them in a contest.

Mr Kenny last night hosted a Cabinet sub-committee meeting on housing in which he was said to be in “flying form”, inquiring about planning and building for the next 20 years, said an informed source.
