An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar has announced the Government’s appointments as Minister of State.
Speaking today, An Taoiseach said:
“We aim to be a government of purpose that gets things done. These appointments enhance the Government team and help us to drive forward the Programme for a Partnership Government and build a Republic of Opportunity. So each Minister of State has been assigned a specific task, and each appointment was made by matching skillsets and experience to roles.
“It includes representatives from both Fine Gael and Independents to reflect the fact that this is a Partnership Government. Everyone in the Fine Gael Parliamentary Party will be expected to play a role in Government and rebuilding the Party. I’m looking forward to working with all my colleagues in the months and years ahead to bring about real improvements in people’s lives.”
