Enda Kenny parks leadership question until after North's political crisis is resolved

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has ruled out resigning until after Northern Ireland's political parties form a new government - effectively delaying his already drawn-out departure until early summer, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith.

Speaking to reporters at the St Patrick's Day New York City parade, the Fine Gael leader said that despite a widely-held belief that he would announce his resignation on his return from his week-long US trip, Northern Ireland takes "precedence" over everything else.
