Enda Kenny divvied out some advice to his successor during his final appearance at Leaders’ Questions today.
With the election of a new Fine Gael leader taking place on Friday, a new Taoiseach should be in place in the second week in June.
When asked what advice he would give to the next leader, Kenny recalled a Latin phrase: ”Illegitimi non carborundum” which translates as “don’t let the bastards get you down” (He also said it in Irish).
TDs were keen to remind Kenny that today was his last day in the hot seat, with Rural Independent TD Noel Grealish channeling Late Late Show interview-style questions, asking the Taoiseach:
“What do you consider your greatest achievements, and also your biggest regrets?”
With the backbenches giggling, the Taoiseach said:
"As of regrets, I don’t have any."
