Varadkar: Possible for Donohoe to retain Eurogroup presidency if he's not finance minister

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said it could be possible for Paschal Donohoe to retain his position as President of Eurogroup even if he was not finance minister.

The role of Taoiseach and Tánaiste will rotate on December 15, and although not part of the published rotation deal, it is understood that Fianna Fáil expects the finance ministry to move between the parties too.
