Paul Frew will become Economy Minister, while Michelle McIlveen will take over as Education Minister.
Outgoing Education Minister, Peter Weir, says in the balance of appointments, it is sad there is little sign of healing or reaching out.

Mr. Givan's nomination will then have to come before the Stormont Assembly for ratification.
