Answer

Charles Haughey became a symbol of a new vanguard of Irish Ministers in the 1960s. This was because he was one of the first Ministers to come from a working-class background, and he was seen as a fresh face in Irish politics. Haughey's rise to prominence was also seen as a sign of the changing times in Ireland, as the country was moving away from its traditional conservative values.
