However on the 22 February 2006 Pope Benedict XVI announced the names of the 15 new Cardinals to be installed, and it soon became apparent that Diarmuid Martin was not on the list. However there is speculation that his "red hat" is inevitable, though possibly not till after the death of either Cahal Cardinal Daly or Cardinal Desmond Connell. Ireland has never had more than one serving Cardinal in the past and the Vatican will be reluctant to have three Irish cardinals from such a small country, even if 2 of them have retired.

It is also speculated that Martin will be recalled to Rome to head up a Vatican department. Most likely would be the Justice and Peace department, in which he served as secretary. The top job at Justice and Peace becomes vacant in 2007. Despite his many duties in Dublin, Martin maintains a punishing schedule of international travel, and this has been seen as an indication of his desire, and indeed suitability, to return to his former career as an international diplomat.
