Cabinet Reshuffle Could Be Announced Tomorrow

A Cabinet reshuffle could be announced as soon as tomorrow, reports have suggested.

The Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Tánaiste Joan Burton have been holding meetings this week to discuss the reshuffle and what should be made a governmental priority.

Should a reshuffle be announced, TDs will be expected to return to the Dáil for a vote.

According to RTÉ, a senior source is quoted as saying that "everything had all-but-been agreed".
