Reilly warns FG against replacing Enda Kenny with 'flashy leadership'

Fine Gael deputy leader Dr James Reilly has warned colleagues not to replace Taoiseach Enda Kenny with a "flashy" rival in an apparent attack on Social Protection Minister Leo Varadkar's leadership ambitions, writes Fiachra O Cionnaith, Political Correspondent.

The senator and former Health Minister made the comment as he claimed any focus on the image of the next leader of Fine Gael instead of their achievements risks causing "a very painful experience" for the party.
