Should I resign my position considering I won 50p on Red Rum in 1978, or thereabouts ?

Nope, we want lucky Ministers!

Suss out Olympic-related contracts for you over here perhaps? That's assuming you don't take Bertie's bets and still need to make some extra spondoolicks in the next few years. I know some of the the Ascot redevelopment team moving over to the 2012 team.
Won't let any wussy social democrat beliefs get in the way of a buck...

You can be Minister for the Acquisition of the United Kingdom.

Some more briefs for some more members...

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform: johnfás
Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism: WorldbyStorm

Ceann Comhairle: TheBear

Do you think we could get this list of Cabinet Members posted on a place hidden to all but Machine National citizens? We can take the Dáil, I know it.

Simple, we in the Machine National Party table a Private Members' Bill requiring Opposition deputies to wear paper bags over their heads. We can negotiate how many eye-holes each deputy will receive.

Can I have Internal Security?

"Sooo, when did you stop selling secrets to foreigners, hmmmm?

I am at a disadvantage not knowing these fine heros. If ye have any more pictures put them please.

I would imagine so. How does being Minister for State at the Department for Justice, Equality and Law Reform with special responsibility for Internal Security grab you?

As Minister for Finance, I would smile on that venture.

Free booze is officially the number 2 priority of the Machine National Renegotiating Team.

I'm too drunk to remember the first one.

This thread deserves a reboot.

My feeling is that when the Machine Nation rises to take Leinster House, this would be the general shape of the Cabinet I think would be the strongest team to take Ireland forward in these tough and opportune times.

Taoiseach: Auditor #9

Tánaiste and Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources: EvotingMachine0197
Minister for Finance: Ard-Taoiseach
Minister for Foreign Affairs: cookiemonster
Minister for Education: Kate P
Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Edo
Minister for Transport and Marine: ibis

Minister for Agriculture: SeathrúnCeitinn
Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: riadach
Minister for Defence: youngdan

Any thoughts?

As minister for Gaeltacht affairs, can I have, um, a military expansionist policy?

Expansionist? É sin a phlé!

Strategies for shootout with de Gaulle

1. Banging of table to be percusssive.

2. Ibis to break pencil ( a la John Major) at inappropriate juncture

3. Kate P to slam doors

4. Edo to keep drink flowin

5. The Seathrúnster to bring up entirely irrelevent topics
