VIDEO: Enda Kenny admits he won’t be re-elected as Taoiseach this Thursday

Tony Cuddihy

The Fine Gael leader is expecting to be a ‘caretaker Taoiseach.’

Enda Kenny says he is unable to put a date on when the next government will be formed, but that he would continue towards the goal of putting one together.

He also admits that no Taoiseach will be elected this Thursday, as initially expected.

Speaking in Brussels at a meeting of EU leaders, RTÉ reports him as saying: “There is a process going on at the moment in terms of discussing with Independents and groupings and so on like that in order to see what situation might arise from this.

“I am prepared obviously in my capacity as Taoiseach to work for the formation of a government that the country deserves and that the people need.”
