[edit] Ahern term end-date
I am changing his end-date from 6th May to 7th May so as to include his 1-day period as acting Taoiseach following his visit to the Aras. The end-date of the terms of all other Taoisigh includes the acting period. For example, I believe his predecessor Bruton was acting-Taoiseach from his loss in the June 6 election until Ahern had secured Dail support to go to the President on June 26 which is the recorded end-date for Bruton --Rye1967 (talk) 22:10, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] W. T. Cosgrave
Why doesn't this list mention W. T. Cosgrave? I know he was not a Taoiseach but he was Head of the Irish government for 10 years, which is longer than Cowen, Bruton, Reynolds, Liam Cosgrave, Fitzgerald, Costello, Haughey and Lemass. A discussion on W.T. Cosgrave inclusion on list of Taosigh was held here and he is officially counted, see here. Alternatively the name of this article could be changed to List of Heads of Irish Government by important facts. Snappy56 (talk) 09:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
