“It should not be down to a select few in Fine Gael to decide who runs the country.”
Meanwhile former Education Minister and Government Chief Whip, Donegal TD Joe McHugh, admits the outcome of the recent referendums might have had an influence on Taoiseach Varadkar’s surprise announcement.
“The result of the two referendums is something that made him think about his position, I think,” Deputy McHugh said.
