IRELAND: Frances Fitzgerald nominated as new Minister for Justice to replace Alan Shatter

Frances Fitzgerald is the new Minister for Justice.
She moves from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs, where she is succeeded by Charlie Flanagan in his first ministerial portfolio.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny nominated the two Ministers in a short speech to a well-attended Dáil at 10.45am. The Dáil approved the ministerial nominations by 80 votes to 35
The appointment ends feverish speculation about Alan Shatter’s successor since his shock resignation yesterday in the wake of senior counsel Sean Guerin’s report into allegations of Garda malpractice.
