I wish to announce for the information of the House that on 11 July 2013 I accepted the resignation of Deputy Lucinda Creighton as Minister of State at the Departments of the Taoiseach and Foreign Affairs and Trade.

The Government, on my nomination, has appointed Deputy Paschal Donohoe to be Minister of State at the Departments of the Taoiseach and Foreign Affairs and Trade, with special responsibility for European affairs with effect from 12 July 2013. I am sure Oscar and Lucy will be very pleased.
