Harris completes steadfast journey to become Ireland, ’s youngest premier
Simon Harris became Ireland’s youngest ever prime minister on Tuesday. He started his political career at a young age, being described as a “well-known local activist” at 16 years old. He has a strong work ethic and attention to detail, and is known for his involvement in politics to support his autistic brother. Harris is facing the challenge of regaining support for his party and may need to form coalitions with independent candidates. Despite pressure to move Fine Gael towards a more center-right position, Harris is proud of the social progress made in Ireland and is unlikely to make a significant shift in ideology.
