Minister for Further and Higher Education Simon Harris has 'all the attributes' to be the next Taoiseach, according to former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.

Minister for Further and Higher Education Simon Harris has"all the attributes" to be the next Taoiseach, according to former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.

Speaking on RTÉ's Brendan O'Connor programme, Mr Ahern said that Mr Harris was best placed following in the footsteps of Mr Varadkar and working very closely with Fianna Fáil's Micheál Martin and the Green Party's Eamon Ryan."If he was to go pushing too much of the Fine Gael line against Michéal Martin, this Government is over."

Mr Ahern said that the key attributes for a Taoiseach were communication, energy and attention to detail, which he said Mr Harris has. Speaking with reporters at the start of Labour's two-day annual conference at the Helix in Dublin City University, Mr Nash, a TD for Louth and East Meth, also said that in his view, Deputy Harris would be"a TikTok Taoiseach tinkering on the edges".
