Ahern expected to name Haughey as junior minister

SEAN HAUGHEY, the son of former Taoiseach Charles Haughey, is widely expected to be promoted to the junior ministerial ranks later today.

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said in December that he would name the replacement for Ivor Callely after the Dáil resumed today.

Mr Callely resigned from his post in December in the wake of a series of controversies.
