First full Cabinet meeting of new Government to take place today

Taoiseach Enda Kenny will today hold the first full Cabinet meeting of the new Government as ministers settle into their roles and begin overseeing their portfolios.

While the Cabinet met briefly after the Government was appointed last Friday, this is the first full meeting since ministers were given their seal of office and ahead of the Dáil reconvening next week.

Government sources say the agenda for the briefing is expected to be “light” and that new ministers were still getting to know each other and getting to grips with policy implementation.
