The new Ministers have began a series of briefings after all but one of the Government departments – enterprise, where Peter Burke remains in situ – were given new bosses in Micheál Martin’s second administration. His leer was so filthy it would have you reaching for hand sanitiser. A man over 40. A man who knew so, so much better
There were seven Fine Gael juniors in the last government and two – Jennifer Carroll-MacNeill and Martin Heydon – have been promoted to Cabinet. So if Simon Harris does not demote anyone he has three slots open for promotion. Demotion for Alan Dillon, Neale Richmond, Emer Higgins or Kieran O’Donnell would be surprising.
Charlie McConalogue – unlucky to be dropped from Cabinet – will almost certainly be offered a job, sources say. It would be a surprise if Timmy Dooley did not return to the ministerial ranks. Michael Moynihan is considered overdue a promotion.
