Irish Health Minister proposes early November general election, but Tánaiste insists on completing legislative work first.

Irish Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has suggested that a general election might be called next week for early November. However, Tánaiste Micheál Martin has dismissed this, stating that significant legislative work, including the Finance Bill and Mental Health Bill, must be completed first. He emphasized that coalition leaders should discuss the election date only after these matters are addressed, with no confirmed meeting planned for next week.
