Tue 04 Apr 2009FG wants junior ministers cut to 12
The number of Ministers of State should be reduced from 20 to 12, a Fine Gael Private Members' Bill is proposing.
The Bill was published today by Fine Gael TD Alan Shatter. The move comes as 20 Ministers of State prepare to resign at midnight tonight. Taoiseach Brian Cowen will then nominate just 15 names for tomorrow's Cabinet meeting.
