UUP to name Ministers today…

The Ulster Unionists are to name their ministers today. Dan Keenan in the Irish Times reckons its going to be two of three possible candidates (subs needed):

The party has already opted for the department of health and the department of employment and learning, but there has been no announcement yet about which of these departments the party leader will take. It had been anticipated that Alan McFarland would be the other ministerial nominee, but a party source has suggested that deputy leader Danny Kennedy could also be named.
