The Taoiseach is expected to unveil his new junior ministers as the cabinet holds its first full meeting today.

It is after Ministers approved the Programme for Government at a short late night gathering at Áras an Úachtaráin last Friday night.

Housing and the opposition’s proposals for an all party committee on the future of our health service are also expected to be discussed at the gathering.

The Ministers of State will be presented to the cabinet for their approval – before being released publicly.
