Indian-origin Leo Varadkar is stepping down as Ireland's prime minister and leader of the Fine Gael party.
Varadkar's resignation does not automatically lead to a general election; a new Fine Gael leader could replace him.
He became Ireland's first openly gay prime minister in 2017 and the youngest person to hold the office.
Varadkar's departure comes after his return to the premiership in 2022.
