#Elections2019: Country on red alert for general election
The country has been placed on red alert for an early general election this year, with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar insisting he “can’t rule it out”.
As local and European count results continued to pour in last night, Mr Varadkar said he could not guarantee beyond a few days or weeks that an election would not be called given the fragility of the Government’s position in Dáil Éireann.
