The Taoiseach Leo Varadkar stood down after defeats in two referendums earlier in March. His government's proposals weren't just rejected, they were trounced.
As bombshells go, they managed to keep this one under the radar. On a day when new assisted dying proposals were top of the Irish political agenda, Leo Varadkar decided to bring about the end of his premiership. But some signs had been there.
Then there's the general election, expected late this year, although the government could cling on until early 2025. Ten Fine Gael TDs have already stated they won't seek re-election. If that doesn't sound like a huge number by international standards, consider that Fine Gael formed a coalition government after 33 TDs were elected in 2020. More than a quarter of those are now riding off into the sunset. That will always generate leadership speculation.
