Abstract:

The election to the lower house of Ireland’s parliament, the Dáil Éireann, on 29 November has set in motion the formation of a new government. This process is likely to end by February 2025 with the renewal of the “grand coalition” of centre-right parties Fianna Fáil (FF) and Fine Gael (FG). As it did after the previous general election in 2020, the nationalist-left party Sinn Féin (SF) took up the Opposition Front Bench leadership. The election campaign focused on the rising cost of living, immigration and the housing market, economic growth, and the green transition. The main international challenges for the new government will be—taking into account Ireland’s neutrality—the development of European defence policy, trade policy, and the 2026 review of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement.
