Why are Donnelly and Martin still ministers despite not being re-elected?


//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. till-ministers-despite-not-being-re-elected.html
Published in Politics and Government on Tuesday, December 3rd 2024 at 13:30 GMT by Brian Stokes   Print publication without navigation

  • Stephen Donnelly and Catherine Martin were two of the highest profile TDs to lose their seats in Election 24, but despite that they will remain ministers until a new government is formed.

The article from RTE discusses the situation of Stephen Donnelly, who, despite losing his seat in the recent election, remains a minister in the Irish government. Donnelly, previously the Minister for Health, was not re-elected in his Wicklow constituency, where he was outpolled by several candidates including former minister Simon Harris. However, under the Irish Constitution, ministers can continue in their roles even if they are not currently members of the Dáil, provided they get re-elected within a certain timeframe. This provision allows Donnelly to stay on as a minister until a by-election or the next general election, whichever comes first. The article explores the political implications of this scenario, including the potential for a by-election, the strategic considerations for Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, and the public and political reactions to Donnelly's continued tenure. It also touches on the broader context of government formation and stability in the wake of the election results.
