Harris said the electorate had not voted for change in recent local and European elections and wanted him to ‘get stuck in and do the job’

Taoiseach Simon Harris at the opening of the summit on peace in Ukraine, which is being held near Lucerne, Switzerland.

“The message I got when I went around the country ... is: ‘you’re a new Taoiseach, roll up your sleeves and get stuck in and do the job’. That is what I intend to do, that is why I was back at my desk at the crack of dawn the Monday after the election and my view on the timing of the election hasn’t changed.”
