Dublin South TD Alex White is to replace Roisin Shortall as the new junior minister in the Department of Health, with specific responsibility for primary care.
Mr White is a first time TD, although he served one term as a senator before getting elected to the Dail for Dublin South last year.
Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore announced his pick this afternoon, and said Mr White’s appointment will be formally ratified by Cabinet next Tuesday.
The appointment will also boost Mr White’s chances of survival in the ‘group of death’ Dublin South constituency, which drops from a five seater to a three seater at the next general election.
