In the latest cabinet appointments, only three women secured senior roles, illustrating a decrease in female representation from the outgoing government. Expectations for promotions, particularly for Mary Butler, were unmet as she will serve as a super-junior minister focused on mental health. Key position shifts included Dara Calleary returning to the cabinet and various ministers being reassigned, with James Browne moving to Housing and Paschal Donohoe changing his role to Finance Minister. This reshuffle has raised concerns regarding the representation of women in government roles.
Only three women secured senior cabinet posts - Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, Helen McEntee and Norma Foley. This means the number of women at the table has actually reduced, down one in comparison to the outgoing government.
The expectation was that Mary Butler would be elevated to a full cabinet position, but she will instead be a super-junior minister responsible for mental health.
