Galway East TD could be among junior ministers to be announced later

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Galway East Fine Gael T.D. Ciaran Cannon is among those tipped for promotion when Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announces his Ministers of State later.

According to today's Irish Times, it's been confirmed that the Taoiseach will not consider any TDs first elected to the Dáil in 2016 for a junior ministry, ruling out Galway West T.D Hildegarde Naughton. Furthermore,  Deputy Naughton canvassed for Simon Coveney in the leadership race.

It's not known if her constituency colleague Seán Kyne will maintain his role as Minister of State at the Department of the Gaeltacht.

Seán Kyne supported Leo Varadkar in the recent leadership contest.

Independent Alliance Galway East T.D, Seán Canney had held the role of Minister of State with responsibility for the Office of Public Works.

He held the portfolio on a job-share basis with fellow Independent T.D Kevin 'Boxer' Moran and they'll both be waiting to see if they will keep their junior ministry positions.
