Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I take this opportunity to congratulate Senator Ciarán Cannon on his election as leader of the Progressive Democrats and to commiserate with my former constituency colleague, Senator Fiona O'Malley. It is great to see that the Progressive Democrats will still be led by somebody from Galway. I welcome that. The Constitution provides that the only Cabinet position that a Senator may not hold is the Ministry of Finance. Are there any plans to bring a motion to the House to change the membership of the Cabinet arising from the election of a new leader of the Progressive Democrats?
