The 32nd Dáil was elected at the 2016 general election. When it met on 10 March 2016, the Dáil failed to elect a Taoiseach, resulting in the formal resignation of Enda Kenny who continued in a caretaker capacity pending the appointment of the 30th Government of Ireland. After two further failed attempts to elect a Taoiseach Enda Kenny was eventually elected at the fourth time of asking on the Friday, 6 May 2016 and his cabinet was announced later that day. This was the first occasion on which an outgoing Fine Gael Taoiseach was re-elected.
