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.

Monica Lewinsky breaks long silence over her affair with Bill Clinton ....'I deeply regret what happened'

Speaking out: Monica Lewinsky has broken her silence over her affair with Bill Clinton

Monica Lewinsky has broken her long silence by saying she 'deeply regrets' her affair with Bill Clinton.

The former White House intern has written for the first time about the controversial affair for a magazine, which will be published this week.

During the Vanity Fair essay, called Shame and Survival, the 40-year-old says it's “time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress."

Her comments come at a bad time for the Clintons, as speculation increases that Hilary Clinton will run for president in 2016.

Perhaps tellingly, she writes how she wants to set the record straight, warning how the scandal could affect “other people’s futures.”

Lewinsky's affair with Clinton began in 1996 when she was 22. News of the scandal broke two years later and almost ruined Clinton's presidency after he was impeached by the US Senate.

In the essay, she writes: “I, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and President Clinton. Let me say it again: I. Myself. Deeply. Regret. What. Happened."

Despite remaining silent for years about the affair, she also denies that the Clintons bought her silence.

She describes how she has found it incredible difficult to get a job and admits that it was a "consensual relationship" between the pair.

She reveals that she is speaking out now so that she could perhaps help other people suffering from humiliation.

In speaking out now, Lewinsky says she wants to stop “tiptoeing around my past — and other people’s futures.”
