Independent clout will make Cabinet carve-up an awkward one for Micheál Martin
Norma Foley wants to be the new Heather Humphreys, become the mammy of the Cabinet, one source said.
‘He hates being lobbied,” said a Fianna Fáil minister, warning any colleagues seeking to persuade Micheál Martin of their greatness over the next four weeks before the Cabinet is picked.
The incoming taoiseach will have plenty of scope for changes. The loss of Stephen Donnelly and the demise of the Green Party means the Fianna Fáil leader will have at least two – and possibly three – cabinet places to play around with.
