The ministerial changes announced by the chief minister signal the beginning of the end of the political career of one of the Island's longest-serving MHKs and ministers.
David Cretney, who has been replaced as infrastructure minister by Laurence Skelly with immediate effect, has announced he won't be contesting his seat in 2016.
Meanwhile, the chief minister says none of the three ministers leaving their posts - David Anderson, David Cretney and Graham Cregeen - were dismissed:
