Enda Kenny is not the leader of Ireland. He is the Taoiseach, which is the head of the Irish government. The head of the government in Ireland is not the head of state, which is the role of the president of Ireland. Michael D. Higgins is the president of Ireland. For Enda Kenny to have become Taoiseach, he had to be elected to Dáil Éireann, the Irish parliament, and as leader of the biggest party, he was voted in as Taoiseach when a government was formed. Elected members of his party, Fine Gael, and the Labour party, which are also part of the government, voted for him in Dáil Éireann.
