No Cabinet reshuffle due, says Dempsey

Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey has said today that a Cabinet reshuffle is not on the cards in the immediate future.

He also said that he doesn't "appreciate" the comments made by unnamed party sources, questioning the ability of Ministers, including Tánaiste Mary Coughlan.

It comes after newspaper reports today said a number of Fianna Fáil TDs want sweeping change.

Dempsey called on those within Fianna Fáil with comments to make, to do so in their own names.

Speaking at a family fun day in the Phoenix Park ahead of National Bike Week, he said any decision on a reshuffle is the Taoiseach's call to make.
