Senior government ministers have been defending the Taoiseach, saying any challenge to his leadership is a mistake.
There are three front runners on the list to replace Enda Kenny – they are Simon Coveney, Leo Varadkar and Frances Fitzgerald.
Speaking to KCLR this morning, Councillor Fitzgerald says he would be backing Simon Coveney, despite spending time with all three of them.
