According to reports, the Dáil will have to sit on Saturday December 17 to vote Leo Varadker in as taoiseach. Reportedly, the date has been postponed in order for Micheál Martin to attend a meeting of the european council.
According to reports, Leo Varadker was elected leader of fine Gael in June 2017 beating Simon Coveney who had the support of more fine Gael members. Reportedly, he was elected taoiseach in a 50-58 vote with 47 abstentions. One of Leo Varadker’s first acts of taoiseach was to announce a referendum on abortion. According to reports, during Brexit talks he said he had received guarantees from the uk that there would be no hard border between the republic and northern Ireland. Reportedly, in January 2017 he said he was standing firm on the absence of a hard border. The concept of a british united Ireland may have been an idea.
