“It was a full and frank discussion … he got it both barrels. We had a very fraught discussion and I explained a few home truths to him very clearly,” Moynihan said. He said he knows there were “challenges” to address in terms of appointing people to junior and senior ministerial roles from three different parties – Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party.“This has driven me on further, and it has ensured that I am going to work harder than ever. And I will be a thorn in the side of the government to deliver on the issues,” he stated.
“I have been inundated with messages from people who feel let down and grossly insulted,” he tweeted today.Speaking on Monday, Martin said he had a “limited choice” when appointing people to Cabinet, and he looked at suitability to the role when making his decision. Speaking to MidWest Radio on Monday, Calleary said: “We had a very difficult conversation and I told him I was disappointed. I had hoped to lead a department. That’s always been my ambition and I can tell you that it’s still my ambition and it will happen, it will absolutely happen.”
