PICS: Ireland reacts as Lucinda Creighton steps down as Renua leader

So long, Lucinda…

Following their poor showing during the recent general election, Lucinda Creighton has stepped down as leader of Renua.

Creighton informed the party of her decision at the National Members’ meeting earlier today.

Despite running 26 candidates, Renua failed to get one TD elected to the Dáil, and its three sitting TDs all lost their seats.

Here’s how Ireland reacted to the news…

Lucinda is actually the perfect poster-child for what happens when your views and policies are too right wing for even Fine Gael 🙈
