    A REDUCTION by up to half of the 20 Ministers of State and the scrapping of many paid positions on Oireachtas committees was demanded by Labour finance spokeswoman Joan Burton.

    More from The Irish Times.

    AMazing, the first Turkey is actually voting for Christmas. I NEVER thought i'd see the day that a TD would actually have the honesty to appreciate just how serious the mess we're in and accept that the Oireachtas MUST play their part.

    REDUCE, REUSE, RECYLCE...as the adage goes!

    REDUCE the ministers
    REUSE them on the Bank Boards
    RECYCLE their expenses into paying for the increasing WElfare Costs...
