The former agriculture minister left his previous role after his involvement in the 'golfgate' controversy in 2020

Mayo TD Dara Calleary, who stood down as minister for agriculture following the Golfgate scandal, is tipped as a frontrunner to replace Robert Troy at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment

Dara Calleary is mentioned as a replacement as junior minister resigns due to omissions in his declaration of interests

On Friday the Irish Examiner revealed that Mr Troy had failed for nine months to register the rental of his former home in Westmeath with the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB), a legal requirement.

Despite recent revisionist interpretations, the facts make nonsense of the notion that the former European commissioner had been hung out to dry after Golfgate

Legally, as Judge Fahy noted, everything was done correctly — but the symbolism of what the gathering represented is what provoked all the outrage, writes Michael Clifford.

The Irish Examiner revealed the Agriculture Minister attended a golf function for 80 people on Wednesday night.

2,100 hectares currently planted with spruce and pine forests will be restored with re-wetted bog and replanted with native woodlands.

The first time he took Leaders' Questions from the government side of the Dáil chamber will have played out differently had Micheál Martin ever imagined it.

"On several levels, it has been a week that has exposed many deep and worrying sores within the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party."

Party discipline within Fianna Fáil appeared to be breaking down with Taoiseach Micheál Martin coming under intense fire over his ministerial appointments.

Most Cabinet appointments and reshuffles bring a degree of unhappiness, disappointment, and resentment. But, Mr Martin’s choices to fill his Cabinet and junior ministerial ranks have truly turned into a messy quagmire which has overshadowed his rise to power.

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has accepted that it is "very unusual" for there to be no Cabinet ministers from west of the River Shannon.

The Mayo TD was a shock omission from the ministerial ranks of Michéal Martin's government on Saturday, though he will sit at cabinet as Chief Whip and junior minister at the Department of the Taoiseach.

Political honeymoons can be brief, especially for incoming leaders.

The chair of the Ballina Fianna Fáil comhairle ceantar has blasted new Taoiseach Micheál Martin for not picking the party's deputy leader as one of his senior Cabinet members.

Dara Calleary says he had an "incredibly difficult" conversation with Micheal Martin and was "angry" when he was not appointed to a ministerial role.

Cabinet Ministers are meeting this afternoon in their new roles.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has defended his decision not to appoint Dara Calleary as a full Cabinet minister.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has insisted “it is all systems go” for his Government, which holds its first full Cabinet meeting today.

Fianna Fáil Deputy Leader Dara Calleary will be an integral voice at cabinet, despite not being a senior minister, his colleagues have insisted.

Around Leinster House on Saturday, there were three groups - those who got the call, those who didn't although they hoped they might, and those who entered the day with no expectation of a call at all.

Micheál Martin has been accused of abandoning parts of the country, by failing to appoint a more regionally balanced Cabinet of ministers.

The Green Party's Eamon Ryan will be Transport and Climate Minister, with his party colleagues Roderic O'Gorman and Catherine Martin set to join him in Equality and Communications respectively.

Incoming Taoiseach Micheál Martin has promised a major national economic recovery plan and multi-billion euro stimulus as early as next month to “get people back to work”.

Fianna Fáil TD Jim O’Callaghan will not be offered the position of Attorney General, thus ending speculation linking him with the post.

The smile on the face said it all.

Green Party sources say that recent reports of a crisis within the talks are due to the two civil war parties "briefing media" against them in an effort to pile pressure on their TDs.

As the sun split the stones yesterday, teams from Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, and the Green Party trundled into Agriculture House on Dublin’s Kildare St to begin the fourth week of talks.

There is "no guarantee" that any programme for government is approved by the membership of Fianna Fáil, it has been warned.

Green Party leader Eamon Ryan said that the public would not take kindly to being asked to return to the polls.

Unwarranted Fianna Fáil attacks on Fine Gael have “damaged the talks” aimed at forming a government it has been claimed.

A marathon of government formation talks begins tomorrow, with all three parties keen both keep proceedings under wraps and navigate unrest at grassroots level.

The likelihood of success in the talks aimed at forming a government was put at “less than 50:50” because of the internal wrangling within the Green Party, senior government sources have said.

Cork South West Independent TD Michael Collins said many of these part-time farmers or fishermen are delivering meals on wheels services as part of their Rural Social Scheme work.
