Ministers and Secretaries (Ministers of State) Bill 2007

Public bill · Government · Presented

The measure would increase the maximum number of Ministers of State the Government could appoint from 17 to 20. These junior ministers would have to be members of either House of the Oireachtas, and could be appointed or removed on the Taoiseach’s nomination or recommendation. It matters because it would give the Government three additional junior ministerial positions to share responsibility for government departments.
