Robinson reshuffles Ministers in the North

New First Minister in the North Peter Robinson has named his new Cabinet.

Sammy Wilson, a DUP member recently named by the Green Party as the least environmentally-conscious politician in the North has been made Minister for the Environment.

As predicted, Edwin Poots, a Paisley loyalist, has paid the price of supporting proposals for a sports stadium at the Maze and been dropped from the DUP front bench.

He's been replaced by Gregory Campbell as Minister for Culture.

Arlene Foster is promoted to Enterprise, Trade and Investment.

DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds, as expected, replaces Mr Robinson as Finance Minister.
