Ireland is set to hold a general election on November 29, as Prime Minister Simon Harris aims to leverage a favorable budget and declining support for opposition party Sinn Fein. With Fine Gael polling at 24.5% and Sinn Fein at 18.5%, Harris seeks a mandate to continue his coalition's governance amid challenges like housing costs and migration concerns.

With an upcoming election, the coalition government, which supports the bill, faces pressure from opposition parties advocating for a trade ban.
