Jack Chambers has been appointed as the new Minister for Finance in Ireland, succeeding Michael McGrath who has been nominated as the country’s next European Commissioner. Chambers, a Dublin West TD, first entered the Dáil in 2016 and previously served as Minister of State at the Department of Transport.
Formal appointment for Chambers will be finalized tomorrow, as he takes on this crucial role in shaping the nation’s financial policies. At just 33 years old, he has already made significant strides in his political career, having previously served as government chief whip from 2020 to 2022.
In addition to his new role as Finance Minister, last week Chambers was also named as the Fianna Fáil deputy leader, with the Tánaiste praising his leadership and organizational skills during the party’s recent local elections campaign.
