DUBLIN (Reuters) - Acting Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny is to seek re-election in parliament on Friday in a vote his party hopes will bring an end to 10 weeks of political deadlock.

It is the fourth vote, but the first with a realistic chance of success after he secured the agreement last week of Ireland's second-largest party, Fianna Fail, to abstain in key votes to let a minority government run until 2018.
