Leo Varadkar was elected Irish prime minister for the second time on Saturday, taking over from Micheál Martin under a novel rotation arrangement struck between their two parties - once sworn rivals - under a 2020 coalition pact.
Varadkar, previously premier from 2017 to 2020, pledged to speed up government plans to tackle a years-long housing crisis that cost him a full second term in office and has made the left wing Sinn Fein clear favourite to win the next election in 2025.
"We must apply the same spirit of determination, action and immediacy that we saw during the pandemic to this great challenge," he said. "We will leave no stone unturned." Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe and Public Expenditure Minister Michael McGrath are also to swap roles under the deal while Martin will become deputy prime minister and replace Simon Coveney as foreign and defence minister, Varadkar told parliament.
