Indian-origin Leo Varadkar, former Irish Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Fine Gael party, has been elected as the new prime minister of Ireland.
Varadkar replaced Micheal Martin as Taoiseach (premier) in a rotation between his Fine Gael and Martin's Fianna Fail parties that is unprecedented in Irish history.
This is the second time that Varadkar has been elected as Irish prime minister. He first became the Irish prime minister in June 2017.
In 2015, before Ireland's referendum legalising same-sex marriage, Varadkar came out publicly as gay.
