‘It has been the most fulfilling time of my life’: Taoiseach Leo Varakdar says following press conference
Green Party leader Eamon Ryan has released a statement reacting to the news. “I would like to offer my sincere thanks to Leo Varadkar for his work as Taoiseach. He has been an energetic and committed leader of the country who was always supportive of his government colleagues. “It’s worth noting that the agreement at the start of this Government was between the three coalition parties, not the three leaders.
“The Green Party looks forward to the the conclusion of the Fine Gael leadership contest and the election of a new Taoiseach by Dáil Éireann. In the interim, the important work of Government continues and the three coalition parties will continue to fulfil our mandate, just as we have done over the last three and a half years. “I would like to offer my good wishes to Leo as he prepares to depart the Taoiseach’s office.
