Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe during a media briefing at the Department yesterday. Image: PA FINANCE MINISTER PASCHAL Donohoe has said it is in Ireland’s interest that the UK economy is stable in the wake of the departure of Liz Truss as British prime minister.
“The matter of who leads the Conservative party or who is the next prime minister is clearly a matter for those who are voting in it. I’ll leave that to them,” Donohoe told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland programme. “It really matters to Ireland that the UK is doing well, that they are stable and their economy is growing,” he said.
The Taoiseach told reporters in Brussels that “we would like to see the UK system, within its capacity, to be in a position to have a successor selected as quickly as possible”.
