Unless you've been hiding under a social media black-out rock, you'll know that it was announced yesterday that Enda Kenny would resign as leader of Fine Gael, and as Taoiseach.
While the news may not have come as a surprise for many, there was still a huuuge reaction to the announcement, especially on Twitter.
Some were happy, some were sad, and some were delighted with the chance to make a pun.
Here's 11 of the best reactions from the twittersphere:

Enda Kenny's departure is far too similar to wondering when the hell Katy will escape in Fair City. We've already been fooled once this week

Dear @EndaKennyTD we shared so many bloody special moments together. Every time I have a period, I'll always think of you #repealthe8th

I feel now is a good time to share this gif of Enda Kenny almost falling over a small railing in 2013. pic.twitter.com/hRyh9cFvw8
