Leo Varadkar is today beginning discussions with party colleagues, as he prepares to take over from Enda Kenny as Taoiseach.
He's to be the first openly-gay Irish PM, and the youngest ever leader of the country.
The new Fine Gael leader is expected to contact Simon Coveney who he beat by a margin of 60-40 in yesterday's count.
He's also due to reach out to Fianna Fail to reaffirm the "confidence and supply agreement" that underpins the minority government.
Minister Varadkar has pledged to create a "Republic of Opportunity", and said he wants to continue rebuilding the country.
