A Cheann Comhairle, b'áil liom cead a fháil chun a chur in iúl, mar eolas don Dáil:
(1) gur cheap an tUachtarán inné an Seanadóir Séamus Ó Dúbhaigh mar chomhalta den Rialtas, tar éis dom a chur in iúl dó go raibh Dáil Éireann tar éis comhaontú le mé d'ainmniú an tSeanadóra Ó Dúbhaigh; agus
(2) go ndearna mé inné sannadh na Roinne Gnóthaí Eachtracha do Sheán Ó Ceallaigh a fhorcheannadh agus an Roinn sin a shannadh do Shéamus Ó Dúbhaigh.
A Cheann Comhairle, I beg leave to announce, for the information of the Dáil,
(1) that, having informed the President that Dáil Éireann had approved my nomination of Senator James Dooge to be a member of the Government, the President yesterday appointed him accordingly; and
(2) that I terminated the assignment of the Department of Foreign Affairs to John Kelly yesterday and assigned that Department to James Dooge.
