After weeks of speculation it was finally revealed today that Tim Crookall will be stepping in the role of Education and Children Minister, left vacant since Peter Karran was removed from the Council of Ministers.
The Peel MHK will be leaving his post as Minister of Community, Culture and Leisure, with backbencher Graham Cregeen stepping into the ministerial position.
The Chief Minister has said Tim Crookall is the man to steer DEC into calmer waters after a troubling couple of months.
Speaking to 3FM Minister Crookall said he feels honoured to have been selected for the job:
