Deadline Day For Midlands TDs In Running For Junior Ministry

The government will make 17 more appointments today.

Three midlands TDs are believed to be in the running for a junior ministry today.

It's expected the government will appoint their junior ministers following a cabinet meeting.

There are 17 roles to fill with an extra focus on the appointments following criticism of the geographical spread of the cabinet ministers.

Party Chairman, Kildare-South's Martin Heydon and Longford/Westmeath TD Peter Burke are hoping for promotions.

On the Fianna Fáil benches, another Longford/Westmeath deputy Robert Troy is thought to be in the conversation. 

With seven seats each for Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil and three for the Greens, there will be fresh disappointments today.
