Given some of the makey uppy jobs they hand out they could surely have come up with one for a Westerner
Are they two metres apart? Someone get out the tape

I disagree Art. Why would he take a junior ministery when he is far more qualified than the current minister. All the credit for any reforms he would have initiated would have gone to his senior colleague. He was basically going to mentor McEntee for the job he was qualified to do. If I was in his shoes, I would have turned it down too.

In normal times youâd be right. But this is a time when everyone is compromising and making sacrifices as did all 3 parties to get this govt over the line. Now is not the time for me itâs the time for we and ocallaghan has decided to act in self interest rather than the national and to snipe from the sidelines

To be honest he hasnât really impressed in the politics lark. His intellect is unquestionable but as @Fagan_ODowd says he lacks charisma and probably political smarts too . I wouldnât die of a shock if he decides to chuck it in at next election .

Iâm all for questioning the ability, qualifications or usefulness of ministers but I disagree that he is more qualified for the post than McEntee. McEntee has been a junior minister for a long time has impressed everyone sheâs worked with and as her role grew massively in importance in recent years and she grew with it. She is therefore far more qualified to be a full minister than OâCallaghan who is a politician a wet week. OâCallaghan might have been a barrister but that does not necessarily make him best qualified to be a minister for justice, what experience has he of running anything? McDowell was a barrister and minister for justice and make a hames of it.

A few disgruntled Fianna FĂĄilers may flee to AontĂș as a consequence of MicheĂĄl Martinâs backstabbing. Will you maintain your support @Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy?
Up the RA rides out the storm and stays on the front bench.
They will have to conform.
Bit of a demotion for Louise OâReilly there?
Theyâre very much putting the young ones out front and centre there.

Health for David Cullinane.

No spot for Denise Mitchell, the highest vote getter in the general election.

She was union before so enterprise and employment is a natural fit I suppose.
Probably a good move to leave Pearse on Finance (aka magic money tree)
Sheâs in my constituency and Iâve never heard her speak.
