Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has vowed he would resign his membership of Fine Gael rather than go into coalition with Sinn Féin.
The Fine Gael leader has nailed his colours to the mast in the strongest way yet on the Sinn Féin coalition issue by saying, not only would he not lead Fine Gael into coalition with Sinn Féin, but that he would resign completely from the party if the unholy union ever came about.
Mr Varadkar was asked by veteran broadcaster Séan O’Rourke in RTE’s Two Tribes documentary about the possibility of coalition with the main Opposition rivals.
