The current Taoiseach is Leo Varadkar, leader of Fine Gael, who is leading a coalition government of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and the Green Party. He took office as Taoiseach in December 2022, following a rotation agreement with Micheál Martin, leader of Fianna Fáil, who had served as Taoiseach from June 2020.
