'Always in a hurry': the rapid rise of Simon Harris, Ireland's 'TikTok taoiseach'
(Wanker, bullshitting his was through life! When will the Irish learn?)
A 'meticulous door knocker' as a councillor in 2009, 37-year-old is now poised to become Ireland's youngest PM1/2
Rory Carroll
In 2012 an Irish parliamentary committee hearing had degenerated into a raucous shouting match when a voice cut through the mayhem. "Chillax," said Simon Harris. "I think everyone needs to take a step back here."
The 25-year-old legislator's intervention silenced and mystified his colleagues. One wondered if chillax was Latin. Use of the word made headlines. "All the young people know what 'chillax' is," Harris told the D?il the next day.
He showed little sign of chilling or relaxing himself, however, and instead became a political vortex who 12 years later is poised to become Ireland's youngest prime minister. His social media skills have prompted a nickname, the "TikTok taoiseach".
On 9 April the D?il is expected to confirm Harris, 37, as successor to Leo Varadkar, who stunned the country last month when he announced his resignation as prime minister and leader of Fine Gael.
The higher education minister blitzed potential rivals to be coronated as the party's new leader. Fine Gael's coalition partners, Fianna F?il and the Greens, back him to become taoiseach.
It will be the culmination of a precocious rise for apolished communicator who has rewritten the political rulebook in Irelandbut is barely known in Belfast, London or Brussels.
"At this stage there is more interest in why Leo left than who is Simon Harris but that will very quickly turn to who is Simon," said Frances Fitzgerald, a Fine Gael MEP and former minister who mentored Harris at the start of his career.
The new taoiseach will face daunting challenges. A housing crisis and fraying public services dim the centre-right coalition's hopes of winning an election due by next March. Farmers are chafing at environmental rules while climate activists lament missed targets. Post-Brexit relations with London are tetchy and Northern Ireland's government is fragile. About a third of Fine Gael's D?il deputies are stepping down rather than face voters.
Yet Harris has reputedly yearned for this opportunity since he was a teenager. "He's acutely and almost obsessionally ambitious," said Shane Ross, a former Fine Gael and independent politician who served in cabinet with Harris and knew him as a newly elected legislator in 2011. "He was always in a hurry, even at that time. Very early on he declared his leadership ambitions."
Harris has humble roots. He grew up in Greystones, a County Wicklow coastal town south of Dublin, the son of a taxi driver and a school special needs assistant, and attended St Joseph's, a community school.
He was a keen debater and wrote a play at 13, said Neale Richmond, a junior minister who has known Harris for 20 years. "The work ethic comes from his parents, they're work, work, work."
