Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has privately told ministers and TDs that he has “unfinished business” with Fine Gael in terms of electoral gain and will lead the party into the next election.

It comes amid intense speculation around Leinster House in recent weeks over whether Mr Varadkar will remain on as leader of Fine Gael after the next election.
