Leo Varadkar also made history as the first gay PM and the first from an ethnic minority background.
Leo Varadkar, who is stepping down at the age of 45, has served two terms as taoiseach , made history for lots of reasons when he became taoiseach.
He served twice as taoiseach in coalition governments - first from June 2017 to June 2020 and then again from December 2022.His first term was dominated by Ireland's bullish response to Brexit and insistence that no "hard border" could be re-imposed between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
The 2020 deal meant Mr Varadkar served half a government term as tánaiste , under Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin as taoiseach. In the aftermath, Fine Gael came to power at the head of a coalition in 2011 and Mr Varadkar got his first ministerial appointment as transport, tourism and sport.He built up a high media profile - descriptions of him as a "sharp-shooter" and "straight-talker" were common."It's not a big deal for me any more. I hope it's not a big deal for anyone else - it shouldn't be," he said.
It took the country's police force by surprise, and the government's response to the riot was widely criticised.
