BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair is poised to shuffle his ministerial pack, government sources say, with speculation centring on a place at the top table for a Europe supremo.

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern is likely to address members of the Scottish Parliament when he pays an official visit to Scotland in June, it was confirmed today.

The row over the Irish Prime Minister's cancelled visit to Scotland has intensified as the Labour MP at the centre of the controversy suggested Dublin leaked damaging information to the press.
