After Finna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats (PD) had agreed on a coalition, Charles Haughey was elected Taoiseach on July 12, 1989 with 84 to 79 votes. The ministers were elected at the same meeting and appointed by the President on the same day . The ministers of state were appointed on July 19.

Appointments and renaming
After Defense Minister and Tánaiste Brian Lenihan , who was running for president, said the untruth about a telephone conversation with the incumbent president, the Progressive Democrats called for his resignation. Since Lenihan refused to resign, the president dismissed him on October 31, 1990 at the request of the head of government. The Minister for Marine Affairs, John P. Wilson , took over as Tánaiste, and Charles Haughey took over the Ministry of Defense . On February 5, 1991, Minister of State Brendan Daly was elected as the new Minister of Defense.
The Ministry of Tourism and Transport was renamed the Ministry of Tourism, Transport and Communication on February 6, 1991, and the Ministry of Communications was dissolved.
Finance Minister Albert Reynolds was dismissed on November 7, 1991 , and Environment Minister Pádraig Flynn was dismissed the following day . This resulted in an extensive reshuffle of the cabinet on November 14th.
