After the elections of 25 February, Ireland has a new government. Enda Kenny (centre) of the Fine Gael party is to be Taoiseach (PM), while Eamon Gilmore (2nd right) of coalition partner Labour is to be Tánaiste (Deputy PM). The most difficult task of abiding by the terms of the €85 billion EU/IMF bailout falls to Minister of Finance Michael Noonan (2nd left).
