What next for Irish politics after Varadkar's resignation?

The shock resignation of Ireland’s Taoiseach Leo Varadkar really did come out of the blue.
It was such an unexpected announcement, the Irish Times had less than an hour’s notice.
There’s been a speculation frenzy as to why - but no clear answers. So what do we know? And what happens next?

Refreshing program to watch. Calling out the real issues in Ireland. Simon Harris needs to perform rapidly.

Harris couldn't perform in any other ministerial job he was given what makes you think he will perform as a leader.he will fail miserably as he has done in the past.these clowns are not here for anyone only themselves..

Just more of the same sadly.

[@anthonym3351]

He had a great career, he done amazing with covid and brexit, but so many foreign people moved to Ireland in the last 2 years without any place to home them cost him his job

[@williamcannon7262]

A great career alright, selling out his country to the European Union.

[@anthonym3351]

@@williamcannon7262 you're claiming varadkar sold out to the Eu but ireland has been part of the Eu for decades

[@williamcannon7262]

@@anthonym3351 I did not say Varadkar was responsible for Ireland joining the E.U. He is responsible, however , for introducing and implementing E.U laws ,policies and ideology into Ireland during his time as Taoiseach . Varadkar has Promoted the interests of The E.U, a organisation whose central objective is the absorption of the nation State of Ireland into a European Empire. He has betrayed his people and country and will no doubt proceed to take up a lucrative position in a European institution as a suitable reward for his treachery.

[@michaeldoyle4391]

O he did a great job on the scamdemmeck for the WIF

[@townsin11]

Bought and paid people talking on this subject. No opposition. Joke

[@papi8659]

He played a blinder on Brexit , superb statesman with a great future ahead of him

[@user-hs4pd5te5c]

No way.bye. bye

[@neilmccabe172]

A blinder on Brexit! He allowed the EU to use Ireland as a stick to beat the UK over the head with. He's a traitor and should face the court for what he's done to this country.
