Full line up of junior ministers unveiled as Taoiseach accused by one TD of snub

Earlier Fianna Fáil TD Jim O’Callaghan turned down an offer of a junior ministerial post.

“The reason I am not accepting is because I believe my energy and abilities will be better used as a backbench Fianna Fáil TD rather than as a junior member of government. The Government appointed 17 junior ministers on Wednesday. The two so-called super juniors who sit at Cabinet as well as the Government chief whip were named on Saturday along with all the senior ministers.

Malcolm Noonan - Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht ; and the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government . Following the formal reconfiguration of departments, he will be assigned to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage
