DUBLIN (Reuters) - Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny said he will ask the country's president to dissolve parliament on Wednesday and name a date for parliamentary elections.
"I have told the cabinet that I will proceed to Aras an Uachtarain (the president's residence) tomorrow to ask for a dissolution of the Dail (parliament) and announce polling day," Kenny told his local radio station, Mayo-based Midwest Radio.
Kenny is expected to call the election for Feb. 26, a government source told Reuters.
