Daniel McConnell: Snorefest reshuffle will attract plenty of criticism

Saturday, December 17, is set to be a long day, with Varadkar reportedly warning his colleagues proceedings in the Dáil could run as late as midnight before the new Cabinet is in place

As of now, the likelihood of any blood being spilled at senior minister level is minimal, as both Micheál Martin and Leo Varadkar look unable to cull any of their ranks.

ON this day in two weeks, Micheál Martin’s time as Taoiseach will come to an end.

He will formally resign his office and travel to Aras an Uachtarain, beginning the historic transfer of power to Leo Varadkar.
