Election Crisis: Frances Fitzgerald’s future hangs in the balance

Fine Gael supporters will this weekend rally around embattled Tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald and encourage her to remain on, as the Government fights off the possibility of a snap election.

However, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has left the issue of her resignation hanging in the air, after he declined twice last night to rule out accepting it.

He saidL “I really hope that doesn’t arise and I certainly wouldn’t be seeking her resignation.”
