Order of Ministers

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

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:

remove the column width specs and let the browser figure out the best presentation for its host. Browsers are very good at this.
code it as multiple rows, I.e. Office | person | Office | Person | next row | Office | person | Office | Person | next row etc
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]
