Chartered Accountants Ireland representation in the new Government
Nearly 135 days after General Election 2020, Ireland finally has a new Government. A coalition government formed cross a historic political background of four months of lengthy negotiations, COVID-19, and Brexit; it is also being referred to as Ireland’s “greenest-government-ever”.
However, the new Government now has at its hands the complex task of steering Ireland through economic turbulence and recovery. With a new Cabinet of ministers agreed upon, Fianna Fáil party leader, Micheál Martin, will be heading it as Ireland’s new Taoiseach.
With Michael McGrath T.D. appointed as the new Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, and Deputy Peter Burke T.D. appointed Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, Chartered Accountants Ireland currently has four members elected to the 33rd Dáil. Kieran O’Donnell T.D. (FG), and Sean Fleming T.D. (FF) are current members of Chartered Accountants Ireland elected to the Dáil.
