Order of Ministers edit

The ordering of the cabinet ministers comes from the Department of the Taoiseach website: here. Snappy (talk) 13:11, 10 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Visual Aesthetics edit

The template is currently a mess, visually. I work on a tablet much of the time and everything seems to be forced into the last column. The long department names are partly to blame, but the imbalanced column widths - which I guess are an attempt to ameliorate these long names - don't help. I really don't understand wiki table coding very well, but I could write the html code to make it better. A few things that might help:

  1. remove the column width specs and let the browser figure out the best presentation for its host. Browsers are very good at this.
  2. code it as multiple rows, I.e. Office | person | Office | Person | next row | Office | person | Office | Person | next row etc
  3. move to a 2 column format - it was like this back in 2014 for a while

I would do it but the wiki markup is beyond me. CalzGuy (talk) 08:55, 7 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
