O ' Reilly ( Dublin ); Austin Stack ( Kerry ); Con Collins ( Limerick ); Seán MacEntee ( Belfast ); Joe O ' Doherty ( Donegal ); Paul Galligan ( Cavan ); Eoin O ' Duffy ( Monaghan ); Séamus Doyle ( Wexford ); Peadar Bracken ( Offaly ); Larry Lardner ( Galway ); Dick Walsh ( Mayo ) and another member from Connacht.

Under Lemass, party elders such as James Ryan, Seán MacEntee and Paddy Smith retired and a new generation of politicians were introduced to government such as Brian Lenihan, Donogh O ' Malley, Charles Haughey and Neil Blaney.

They contrasted his continuing bitterness towards Blythe with the cross party friendships of their colleagues Seán MacEntee ( anti-treaty ) and Desmond FitzGerald ( pro-treaty ) who after the divide re-established relationships and ensured their children held no civil war bitterness.

He was the favoured candidate of party elders such as Seán MacEntee and Frank Aiken, the latter managing Colley's campaign and annoyed at Lemass's quick decision to retire before Colley had built up his support.

In a clear message that there would be a change in economic policy Ryan, a close ally of Seán Lemass, was appointed Minister for Finance, replacing the conservative Seán MacEntee.

Lemass also wanted to reward him for his loyalty by naming him Tánaiste, however, the new leader felt obliged to appoint Seán MacEntee, one of the party elders to the position.
