The Taoiseach is expected to announce a replacement for former junior minister Robert Troy at Wednesday's Cabinet meeting, with former Agriculture Minister Dara Calleary the frontrunner.

Mr Troy resigned as Minister of State with responsibility for trade promotion last week, after 10 days of controversy about his failure to declare details of his property interests.
