DUBLIN (Reuters) - Support for Ireland's main opposition party has surged since its decision to let Prime Minister Enda Kenny's minority government survive by offering qualified assistance in parliament, raising pressure on Kenny to announce when he intends to step aside.

Kenny returned to office in May as head of a government that is due to run until the end of 2018. But he has said he will not lead his Fine Gael party into the next election - though without committing to when he will stand down.
