Pre-Budget Statements (Resumed)

Mary White (Carlow-Kilkenny, Green Party)

However, in the rainbow coalition, the first action with Fine Gael in power was to expand the machinery of government. It got rid of one Minister of State — the one with responsibility for environmental protection — but increased from 15 to 17 the number of Ministers of State.
