Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I distinctly recall the Deputy calling for a dedicated Minister with responsibility for fisheries. As is so often the case, however, when people call for a new senior Minister, they do not tell us which Ministry should be abolished. Our Constitution says there can be only 15 senior Ministers. This week the Labour Party called for a Minister with responsibility for vaccines and now Deputy Collins is calling for a Minister with responsibility for fisheries. What Ministry will go? Is it education, foreign affairs or health? Nobody ever says-----
