In an emotional announcement outside Government Buildings in Dublin, Mr Varadkar said his tenure as Ireland's head of government had been 'the most fulfilling time' of his life
Irish premier Leo Varadkar is to step down as Taoiseach and is resigning as leader of the Fine Gael party.
Earlier this month, it was resoundingly beaten in two referendums on changes ministers had proposed to the Irish constitution. Mr Varadkar also played a key role in the Brexit negotiations, with a crunch meeting with then prime minister Boris Johnson at a manor house on The Wirral in England seen as a significant moment in paving a way for the deal on the UK's exit from the EU.
Following the 2020 general election, Fine Gael and Fianna Fail agreed to enter coalition for the first time a seismic move for two arch rivals founded from opposing sides of Ireland's civil war of the 1920s. The Green Party led by Eamon Ryan joined as the administration's junior partner. In his resignation speech, the outgoing Taoiseach said politicians were human beings who had their limitations.
