A number of other senior party colleagues have ruled themselves out of the running to replace Leo Varadkar.
Simon Harris is set for a clear run to become the next taoiseach after announcing he will stand to be the leader of Fine Gael.
“I want to thank everybody for their support and their trust. It means so much to me and I will work night and day. I will give this my absolute all to repay that trust.”“I also want to bring my practical life experience. Public Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe, Justice Minister Helen McEntee, Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys and Enterprise Minister and Fine Gael deputy leader Simon Coveney have all said they will not seek a nomination for the leadership.
If appointed Fine Gael leader, Mr Harris would be expected to be formally elected as taoiseach in the Dail in April following the Easter recess.Mr Harris has already been viewed as one of the favourites to replace Mr Varadkar, but he may now emerge as the only contender.“I have long said that my focus is on the two jobs that I am privileged to hold; that of government minister and as president of the Eurogroup .
Ms McEntee did not rule out a future bid for the leadership, insisting she is still ambitious, but she said it was not the right time for her. Ms Humphreys said she had given “serious consideration” to a run for the leadership but had decided against it, citing family commitments among her reasons.
