Ireland's Prime Minister Simon Harris
Ireland's Prime Minister Simon Harris has announced that the country will go to the polls on November 29.
Mr. Harris says he will seek the dissolution of parliament on Friday to start the campaign and pave the way for the general election.
The prime minister could have waited until March when the coalition's five-year term comes to an end to go to the polls, but he has been paving the way for an election in recent weeks, announcing 10.5 billion euros (£8.75 billion) in tax cuts and spending increases last month.
