Irish General Election Set for November 29 Amid Coalition Confusion
Taoiseach Simon Harris has officially announced plans to call a General Election for November 29, 2024, after weeks of speculation and uncertainty within the coalition government. Despite Harris’s earlier commitment to serving a full term, Tánaiste Micheál Martin and Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman pushed for an earlier vote, complicating leadership dynamics. The upcoming election will follow the passage of the critical Finance Bill, which is prioritized by coalition leaders. The political landscape gears up for a competitive electoral season as tensions among parties rise.
