Enda Kenny and Joan Burton share a cuppa and a possible final farewell

Partners in power Enda Kenny and Joan Burton shared an early morning parting cuppa yesterday but whether they remain at the same table after the election is anyone’s guess.

The respective leaders of Fine Gael and Labour seemed relaxed as they chatted over a cup of tea and a scone in Dublin’s Docklands yesterday morning.

As the public cast their votes today, it may not be such a piece of cake to form another Fine Gael/Labour coalition government. All the recent polls suggest they could be over 10 seats off.
