LEO VARADKAR’S INSISTING he’d like to stay where he is in the upcoming Cabinet reshuffle.
The Transport & Tourism minister has long been linked with a move to the Department of Health — with speculation intensifying once again in recent weeks, following the local and European elections.
Varadkar gave a strong defence of current Health Minister James Reilly at the weekend, telling the Sunday Independent his Cabinet colleague had been “asked to do the impossible” in attempting to reform and expand health services “while taking billions out of the system”.
And while Reilly’s widely expected to be moved on from the health portfolio in the coming weeks, his Fine Gael colleague told reporters he had no great desire to replace him.
“I’m very happy to stay where I am, and I’d like to stay where I am,” he told reporters today.
Of course, Varadkar also added the obligitory:
Obviously I serve at the discretion of the Taoiseach.

Thanks science denying numpties! Blood on your hands.
@GrahamMManning: Despite agreeing with your sentiment, that kind of phrasing isn’t at all going to help them become more open to vaccination, in fact I’d say it would do the opposite.
@Diarmuid Hunt: agreed but at this point (ur not local nite?) do you really need anyone adopting standards views re this?
@GrahamMManning: are scientific studies the same as medical studies?
Anti vax types are morons.
Refugees , thanks
have your say
