Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny just found out it’s not the economy after all.

The leader of the fastest-growing economy in the euro region is fighting for survival after his ruling coalition was routed in last week’s election. His remaining Fine Gael party colleagues meet in Dublin on Thursday for the first time since Friday’s vote, with bookmakers offering odds that he’ll depart as leader within four months.
