Leo


SkyNewsHD Live

They left PMQ's



[The Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Leo Varadkar
will step down party leader immediately
and will resign as taoiseach as soon as his
Fine Gael successor is selected.
Announcing his resignation, Mr Varadkar described
leading his country as
"the most fulfilling time of my life".

He became Ireland's youngest PM in 2017
when he became Fine Gael leader.
He currently leads the coalition government
in Dublin, along with Fianna Fáil and
the Green Party.

In the Irish general election of
2020 Mr Varadkar led his party to a
third-place finish in terms of number of seats
in Dáil Éireann, the lower house in the
country's parliament. ]
