"Simon Harris Sworn in as Ireland's Youngest Prime Minister, Vows to 'Reset' Leadership"

Simon Harris has been confirmed as the new prime minister of Ireland, becoming the youngest-ever holder of the position at 37. He pledged to bring a "new empathy" to public life, prioritize housing, act decisively on the climate crisis, and focus on rural and regional development. Harris also condemned the Israeli government's reaction to the Gaza enclave and promised to call for a cease-fire through Ireland's position in the European Union. He faces challenges including housing, health services, carbon emissions targets, and the increasing visibility of the far right, as well as a slowing economy and the need to address the high reliance on multinational corporations.

"Simon Harris Emerges as Top Contender for Ireland's Prime Minister Post"

Simon Harris is the frontrunner to become Ireland's new leader after three potential competitors, including Paschal Donohoe, Heather Humphreys, and Helen McEntee, ruled themselves out of the Fine Gael party's leadership race. Nominations for the new leader opened on Thursday, and if there is to be a contest, the winner will be announced on April 5th.
