Europe | Taoiseach redux ENDA KENNY MAY HAVE WON ANOTHER TERM IN IRELAND AFTER MONTHS OF NEGOTIATIONS, THE OPPOSITION FIANNA FAIL PARTY CUTS A DEAL SINCE Ireland’s general election in

February, the _taoiseach_ (prime minister), Enda Kenny, has been in government but not in power. Voters angry at austerity and an uneven recovery punished the governing Fine Gael party, led

by Mr Kenny, and its junior coalition partner, the Labour Party. Although Fine Gael won 50 seats and remained the largest party in parliament, Labour retained just seven seats, leaving the

government well short of the 80 needed for a majority.
