Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael Secure Coalition Deal to Govern Ireland

Micheál Martin is set to return as prime minister under a power-sharing agreement, with Simon Harris to succeed him in 2027.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, along with independent lawmakers, have reached an agreement to form a coalition government with a stable majority in Ireland's parliament.
Micheál Martin of Fianna Fáil will serve as prime minister until 2027, when Simon Harris of Fine Gael will take over under a rotating leadership arrangement.
The coalition includes support from seven independent lawmakers, who will gain two super junior ministerial positions and other roles in the government.
The agreement continues the parties' prior economic policies, including high public spending enabled by strong corporate tax revenues, though risks from U.S. policy changes remain.
The coalition excludes Sinn Féin due to its historical ties to the IRA, and the Green Party, which lost nearly all its seats in the recent election.
