Jean-Claude Juncker is expected to announce the makeup of his new commission today – with speculation that Ireland will take the Agriculture job.

But the former minister faces opposition at the European Parliament's agriculture committee.

It features two Irish MEPs, Matt Carthy and Luke 'Ming' Flanagan, who are likely to pressure Phil Hogan over spending at Irish Water, while Nessa Childers has asked nearly 200 socialist colleagues to vote against him.
