Micheal Martin elected new Irish premier
Ireland’s parliament elected Foreign Minister Micheal Martin the country’s new taoiseach or prime minister on Thursday.

Martin, the leader of Fianna Fail, has been elected taoiseach for the second time, replacing Fine Gael leader Simon Harris.
The Dail, Irish parliament, approved the proposal to nominate Martin as taoiseach for appointment by President Michael Higgins later in the day.
There were 95 votes in favour of the Fianna Fail leader, and 76 against.
Harris, meanwhile, will return as tanaiste, or deputy prime minister.
Martin's Fianna Fail emerged as the largest party following the Irish general election in November 2024.
