Divisions are emerging within Fine Gael about the future of Enda Kenny as the party's leader.

It's after one minister said Kenny should be allowed to remain on as Taoiseach for the Brexit talks - which could take two years.

But other TDs - including some ministers - are privately insisting Kenny will face a heave next week, if he has no plans to go.

This afternoon one TD, Alan Farrell, has said he no longer has confidence in Kenny to lead the party.

The Taoiseach today dodged reporters who hoped to question him on his future, after he last night refused to discuss the leadership issue and said he was focused on the job ahead.

He's expected to take the weekend to take stock of the situation, which could threaten to destabilise the party if members are distracted by internal woes.
