Ireland's Leo Varadkar on Wednesday announced that he was stepping down as taoiseach (Irish prime minister) and leader of the Fine Gael party in the governing coalition for "personal and political" reasons.
"I am resigning the presidency and leadership of Fine Gael and will resign as taoiseach as soon as my successor is able to take up that office," Varadkar told reporters in Dublin.
