From today's statement by Frances Fitzgerald:
"Today I made the decision to tender my resignation to the Taoiseach, stepping-down with immediate effect as Tánaiste and Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation. It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve in Government, but I believe it is necessary to take this decision to avoid an unwelcome and potentially destabilising general election at this historically critical time."
Always sad to see someone lose a job she's worked long and hard to get, and for largely political reasons.
But in the Big Picture, avoiding a Brexit-confounding December election is a good result.
