Simon Harris, 37, has become Ireland's youngest prime minister, or taoiseach, succeeding Leo Varadkar. Harris, known for handling Ireland's initial COVID-19 response, received 88 votes from lawmakers in his election.
Harris faces challenges like a severe shortage of affordable housing and concerns about record numbers of asylum seekers, similar to issues that led to stagnation under Varadkar's leadership.
