Taoiseach and Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has named his new Cabinet, with a number of promotions and changes in ministerial positions being revealed.
Of the 15 senior ministerial positions, just one - Fine Gael's Peter Burke - is continuing in his former role, while the only minister to be demoted from the cabinet is Fianna Fáil's Charlie McConalogue.
The full cabinet list is:
Taoiseach - Micheál Martin
Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade and Minister for Defence - Simon Harris
Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Services, Reform and Digitalisation - Jack Chambers
Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration - Jim O'Callaghan
Minister for Social Protection and Minister for Rural, Community Development and the Gaeltacht - Dara Calleary
Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage - James Browne
Minister for Climate, Environment and Energy and Minister for Transport - Darragh O'Brien
Minister for Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science - James Lawless
Minister for Children, Disability and Equality - Norma Foley
Minister for Finance - Paschal Donohoe
Minister for Health - Jennifer Carroll MacNeill
Minister for Education and Youth - Helen McEntee
Minister for Agriculture, Food, Fisheries and the Marine - Martin Heydon
Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment - Peter Burke
Minister for Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport - Patrick O'Donovan
Fianna Fáil TD Mary Butler has also been appointed to the Government chief whip role as well as responsibility for mental health.
Senior counsel Rossa Fanning has also been reappointed as attorney general.
The announcements mean that of the eight ministerial positions for Fianna Fáil including Taoiseach Micheál Martin, three - James Lawless, James Browne and Dara Calleary - have been promoted to full ministries.
It marks a return to a full ministry for Dara Calleary, who resigned from his role as minister for agriculture after a matter of weeks in August 2020 after the Golfgate Covid-19 controversy, and has had a long road back to Cabinet.
Among the eight Fianna Fáil ministers, just one - Charlie McConalogue - is losing his place at Cabinet, having previously held the minister for agriculture position which is now moving to a Fine Gael-held ministry.
The only other Fianna Fáil minister in the previous cabinet to lose his role is Stephen Donnelly, who lost his Dáil seat in November 2024's general election.
Of the seven ministerial positions for Fine Gael including Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence Simon Harris, no minister is being dropped from cabinet.
However, the only minister to keep their old portfolio is Peter Burke, who remains as Minister for Enterprise and Employment.
The new 15-minister cabinet also has a gender split of 12 men and three women. The three female ministers are Helen McEntee, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill and Norma Foley. When Mary Butler is included as chief whip, this changes to a 12-4 split.
However, it has been noted that there are the same number of ministers called James or Jim as there are female ministers in cabinet.
The province breakdown is 11 ministers from Leinster, three ministers from Munster, one minister from Connacht and no ministers from Ulster.
Three super junior ministers, who will be allowed to sit at cabinet but not allowed to vote at it, have also been appointed.
They are Fine Gael TD Hildegarde Naughton, and Regional Independent TDs Seán Canney and Noel Grealish.
Among the other TDs who were rumoured to be in contention for a promotion to cabinet included Fianna Fáil's Niamh Smyth and Timmy Dooley, both of whom have lost out on a senior ministry role.
However, a number of junior ministry positions are available, with the new Government increasing the number of junior ministries from 20 to 23.
