When asked by journalists when the next general election would be, he said: “No time soon, anyway.”

His comments come after the Government suffered two massive defeats in last week’s referendum results.

Speaking in Washington DC, Mr Varadkar added: “The next elections will be the local and European elections and the Limerick mayor elections on the seventh of June.

“No date in mind for the general election.”
