Mary Mitchell O’Connor 'was a tiny bit disappointed yesterday'

Mary Mitchell O’Connor admits she is disappointed at being demoted by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.

The former jobs minister was the only one of Enda Kenny’s cabinet not to retain a full ministerial position and has been dropped to a minster of state with special responsibility for higher education.

However, the super-junior role means that she will still attend Cabinet each week.
