Simon Harris is on course to be elected Taoiseach today, despite half of Clare’s TD’s indicating they will vote against his appointment.
Kilrush Independent TD Violet-Anne Wynne will be voting against the Government, while Meelick Fianna Fáil Deputy Cathal Crowe is expected to vote in favour of his coalition colleague.
Minister Harris is forecast to receive a majority of 86 votes this afternoon, paving the way for the 37-Year-Old to become the youngest Taoiseach in the history of the state.
Scariff Independent Deputy Michael McNamara will be voting against him, though, citing a failure to engage on issues of importance to the Midwest.
