Taoiseach To Call General Election Tomorrow
Taoiseach Enda Kenny is expected to dissolve the Dáil tomorrow, 03 February, and call the general election, according to reports.
Mr Kenny met with Tánaiste Joan Burton today, Tuesday, and polling is most likely to take place on Friday, 26 February.
Mr Kenny will travel to Áras an Uachtaráin and seek the dissolution of the Dáil, however he is not expected to do that until tomorrow.
Part of the reasoning is thought to allow for discussion at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and in the Dáil chamber itself today on the issue of alleged abuse at a foster home in the south east.
