Wechsel an der Spitze der irischen Regierung: Leo #Varadkar von der konservativen Fine Gael (FG) löst an diesem Sonnabend den seit 27. Juni 2020 amtierenden Micheál Martin von der ebenfalls konservativen Fianna Fáil (FF) als Taoiseach (Regierungschef) in Dublin ab. Ich schreibe darüber in der @jungewelt #irland #news #zeitung

RT @MickBarryTD: In his speech following his resignation as Taoiseach Micheal Martin follows the example of Donald Trump and equates the "extreme right" and the "extreme left". #Varadkar #Taoiseach

Leo #Varadkar wants to change #legislation so #Ireland can ratify #CETA because there has never been a treaty the Fine Gael wouldn't sign

RT @olivercallan: Dear UK viewers, if you need some light relief from the day’s stirring events, here in Ireland, a man who finished third in our general election will be leader by Christmas, after being formally cleared of wrongdoing over a wrong he admitted doing. Beat that! #Boris #Varadkar

Republic of #Ireland deputy PM #Varadkar warns nations against signing trade agreements with the #UK, as that nation "might not keep its word" (indeed has signaled it's intent to break it) https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-58898117

#Ireland's PM #Varadkar, a physician, has reregistered as a medical practitioner, and will work 1 day a week on the front line fighting #Covid19 infections https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-ireland-varadkar/irelands-pm-returns-to-medical-practice-to-help-in-coronavirus-crisis-idUSKBN21N0SG

Oh dear, political turmoil in #Ireland. PM #Varadkar says he will take his Fine Gael party, which has led the gov't the last 9 years, into opposition and the onus is on vote winner Sinn Féin to form a government, failing which the onus falls on Fiana Fail. Basically a deadlock as the centrists refuse coalition with Sinn Féin. Varadkar ought to resign, imo https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-51538546

#Ireland PM #Varadkar bracing for electoral defeat in today's election. Popular internationally with a certain class, but voters concerns are local: #healthcare and #housing https://www.politico.com/news/2020/02/07/leo-varadkar-ireland-prime-minister-111924

Voting in #Ireland's snap national election (which #Varadkar is likely to regret calling) takes place this Saturday. Centrists and rightists are alarmed at the surge of support for the historically nationalist Sinn Fein, led by Mary Lou McDonald. Sinn Fein is leading in polling with 25% https://time.com/5778249/ireland-elections-2020/
