Ireland Prepares for General Election as Dáil Set for Dissolution
Taoiseach Simon Harris plans to seek the dissolution of the Dáil this Friday, aiming for a General Election on November 29. The Finance Bill’s passage has cleared the way for this crucial step. The Taoiseach, currently leading a coalition of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and the Green Party, will request the President to dissolve the Dáil, triggering formal election procedures. Voters will head to the polls within 30 days after the dissolution, competing for 174 seats in the next Dáil, amid potential shifts due to constituency boundary changes.
