In this week's LEINSTER LEADER - we report that speculation is mounting that Kildare is to get a senior minister on Wednesday - for the first time since former Minister for Finance Charlie McCreevy in 2004.

Fine Gael TD for Kildare South Martin Heydon could be promoted to the Cabinet on Wednesday but outgoing Fianna Fáil junior minister James Lawless will also be hoping to improve his prospects after topping the poll in Kildare North and bringing in a running mate.

We get the views of both Mr Heydon and Mr Lawless on the issue. 

Also - a Brannockstown resident celebrates his 90th birthday in Hotel Keadeen in Newbridge. 

We report that Bruce Springsteen's hometown of Freehold, New Jersey has been officially twinned with Rathangan.

Lots of sporting action to look forward at the weekend with the return of the football and hurling leagues.
