Dublin: Simon Harris is set to ascend to the role of Prime Minister of Ireland, with his official election anticipated on April 9. However, despite the assurance of his majority, concerns loom over his governance due to the minority status of the current administration.
With only 80 members out of 160 in the Irish Parliament, Harris’s ruling coalition faces a precarious situation, relying on the support of a single opposition member to maintain power. To secure stability, Harris is actively seeking political and public backing.
In his tenure until March 2025, Harris aims to prioritize crucial issues such as law and order, housing, and immigration. A reshuffle within the cabinet is expected, possibly involving changes to the Justice Ministry amid controversies over recent legislation.
Efforts to address the housing crisis and support small businesses are also on the agenda. Additionally, Harris intends to pursue a sustainable migration system, with plans to join the EU Asylum and Migration Agreement.
While challenges lie ahead, Harris remains committed to steering Ireland through these turbulent times, emphasizing the importance of unity and cooperation for the nation’s progress.
