The term used in the first paragraph and throughout the text should match the title of the article. I created the article under "Government" because of the ambiguity of "Ireland" and because "Government" is the term the constitution uses. Of course tho, I see there might be another case for moving it to "Government of Ireland". Unless there is agreement for a move it should stay "Government" in the text.

Scratch the above. Had a better idea.

[edit] An Tánaiste/Minister for Health & Children

In the table should we continue to use a separate field for each of these titles, as they are currently headed by Mary Harney, one person; it would make sense to use one field with both titles presented on a different line. De facto, the Tánaiste holds a place at the cabinet by virtue of being Minister for Health & Childern rather than being Tánaiste; but the law is more complex than this. Any comments?

[edit] Public/State-Sponsored Bodies

Whilst the recent inclusion of information on these two topics must be welcomed in some cases their is often not a clear case of what is civil, public or state-sponsored in Ireland. Comments welcome. Djegan

Civil servants are people who work directly for the government departments plus bodies created from departments for example Com Reg is link to Dept. of Communications. Public Service is all local authorities, Health Services Executive, and VEC. You are public servant if you work for semi-state body. The CAO is not a state body. Hope this helps. ant_ie 06:38, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
