Cregeen named Home Affairs Minister

Graham Cregeen MHK has been appointed as the Islands Home Affairs Minister.

Meanwhile, Ramsey MHK Dr Alex Allinson will take up the post of Education, Sport & Culture Minister - both begin in their new positions with immediate effect.

Mr Cregeen has been appointed following the death of Bill Malarkey MHK last month.

Both are being congratulated by Chief Minister, Howard Quayle MHK, who believes Mr Cregeen can build on the 'excellent work' of his predecessor, whilst saying he is confident in Dr Allinson's ability to step up in his first ministerial role.
