Mix of old and new in Enda Kenny’s likely cabinet

With the vote for Taoiseach called for today, attention has already swung as to who will occupy the 15 cabinet seats and what ministries they will occupy.

Enda Kenny as Taoiseach looks set to re-appoint Michael Noonan to finance, Leo Varadkar to health, and Frances Fitzgerald to justice, while Simon Coveney, Paschal Donohoe, Richard Bruton, and Heather Humphreys all look likely to remain.

The word is that Mr Donohoe will move from transport to become public expenditure minister, while Mr Coveney has been linked with environment.
