Taoiseach-in-waiting Enda Kenny was in ebullient form this afternoon with the news that Iceland's coalition government had collapsed. Mr Kenny managed to pun twice on the Icelandic PM's name.
That Taoiseach would 'want to get in Geir' if the same thing wasn't to happen to his government, Mr Kenny warned, before joking that there were 'Haarde decisions to be made.'
In a surprise move, the Icelandic Foreign Minister, who was recently tipped to succeed Mr Haarde, announced this afternoon a two month leave of absence.

What's the difference between Iceland and Ireland?
One letter and six months
