The Government (Irish: Rialtas) [ral̪ˠt̪ˠəs̪ˠ n̪ˠə heːɼən̪ˠ] is the cabinet that exercises executive authority in the Republic of Ireland. The Government is headed by a prime minister called the Taoiseach, and a deputy prime minister called the Tánaiste. The Taoiseach is appointed by the President after being designated by Dáil Éireann (the lower house of parliament). The President then appoints the remaining members of the Government - each official styled as a "Minister of the Government"[1], often just referred to as a 'cabinet minister' or 'government minister' - after they have been chosen by the Taoiseach and approved by the Dáil. The Government must enjoy the confidence of the Dáil if it is to remain in office. Image File history File links COA_of_Ireland. ...

Overview Unlike many other republican constitutions, the Constitution of Ireland does not make the President even the nominal chief executive officer, but rather explicitly vests executive authority in the cabinet. The Government is therefore not referred to as His or Her Excellency's Government. Under the constitution the Government must consist of between seven and fifteen members. Every member of the Government must be a member of the Oireachtas (parliament), and no more than two members may be chosen from the Senate; the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Minister of Finance must all be members of the Dáil. Communications in the Republic of Ireland, including postal services run by An Post, are regulated to a large extent by the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg), the Minister for Communications, Marine & Natural Resources has overall responsibility for national policy and regulation. ...

The Government is advised by the Attorney General who is not formally a member of the Government but participates in its meetings. Similarly the Chief Whip may also attend meetings of the Government but is not a part of the Government. Members of the Government are also assisted by Ministers of State, often just referred to as 'junior ministers' who are nonetheless not part of the Government and do not take part in its meetings. A Minister of State may, by Statutory Instrument, be delegated a power or duty of a member of the Government in whos department they are assigned to.[2] The Attorney General (Irish: An Ard-Aighne) is the official adviser to the Irish Government in matters of law. ...

In the event that the Taoiseach ceases "to retain the support of a majority in Dáil Éireann" there must either be a dissolution of the Dáil or the Taoiseach must resign.[3] The President may, however, refuse to grant a dissolution to a Taoiseach who does not enjoy the support of the Dáil, and thus force their resignation. When the Taoiseach resigns, the entire Government is deemed to have vacated office collectively. The Taoiseach can also direct the President to dismiss or accept the resignation of individual ministers. In any circumstance in which the Taoiseach or Government have been removed from office, including the loss of an Oireachtas seat, or seats, they continue to exercise their powers until a successor, or successors, have been appointed.[4] The executive authority of the Government is subject to certain limitations. In particular: In parliamentary systems, a dissolution of parliament is the dispersal of a legislature at the call of an election. ...

One notable aspect of the Irish system is that ministers are "corporations sole"[7] – the department does not exist as a legal entity separate to the minister. This leads to the oft quoted phrase in correspondence with government departments – "the Minister has directed me to write" – on many letters or documents that the minister in question may in fact have never seen. In English Law, a corporation sole is a legal entity consisting of a single (sole) incorporated office, occupied by a single (sole) man or woman. ...
When one of the Government's ministerial positions ceases to exist, as distinct from being renamed, which occurs more frequently, its powers are transferred to those of other ministers. These "defunct" ministers are: Communications, Labour, Posts & Telegraphs, Public Service and Supplies. The office of Minister without portfolio has also been held several times, but not since 1977. The Minister for Communications was the minister in the Irish Government created by the Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Act, 1983 to replace the Minister for Posts & Telegraphs. ...

A coalition government, or coalition cabinet, is a cabinet in parliamentary government in which several parties cooperate. ...
Public sector - See also: State-sponsored bodies of the Republic of Ireland
The Government, through the civil and public services and state-sponsored bodies, is a significant employer in the state; these three sectors are often called the public sector. Management of these various bodies vary, for instance in the civil service there will be clearly defined routes and patterns whilst among public services a sponsoring minister or the Minister for Finance may appoint a board or commission. Commercial activities, where the state involves itself, are typically through the state-sponsored bodies which are usually organised in a similar fashion to private companies. A State-Sponsored Body is the name given in the Republic of Ireland to a state owned enterprise (or government owned corporation), that is to say, a commercial company which is benficially owned, either completely or majority, by the Irish Government. ...
The Minister for Finance is the senior minister at the Department of Finance (An Roinn Airgeadais) in the Irish Government. ...
A recent report on public sector employment,[8] shows that at June 2005 the numbers employed in the public sector stood at 350,100; of these by sector they were 38,700 (civil service), 254,100 (public service) and 57,300 (state-sponsored). The total workforce of the state was 1,857,400 that year, thus the public sector represents approximately 20% of the total workforce.
Civil service -
The civil service of the Republic of Ireland consists of two broad components, the Civil Service of the Government and the Civil Service of the State. Whilst these two components are largely theoretical they do have some fundamental operational differences. The civil service is expected to maintain political impartiality in its work, and some parts of it are entirely independent of Government decision making.

Public service -
The public service is a relatively broad term and is not clearly defined and sometimes is taken to include the civil service. The public service proper consists of Government agencies and bodies which provide services on behalf of the Government but are not the core civil service. For instance local authorities, Vocational Education Committees and Garda Siochána are considered to be public services. The public service of the Republic of Ireland consists of agencies, which while not formally part of a Department of State, provide services on behalf of the government. ...
