Irish PM Leo Varadkar announces resignation.

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar unexpectedly announced his resignation, citing personal and political reasons. Varadkar's resignation does not prompt an immediate general election but leads to his successor assuming the role of Taoiseach. Varadkar's government has overseen a strong economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic but has faced challenges with housing and service pressures from record asylum seekers and Ukrainian refugees.
