Three more minister of state positions will be created by the new administration, raising the total to a record 23, reports RTE.
It is anticipated that new legislation to support the hike would be introduced during the first two days of the government’s inauguration on Wednesday.
The new junior ministers will be in charge of migration, the elderly, and the marines, reports RTE.
According to a government spokeswoman, the rise was necessary due to the increased obligations of the government as a result of new problems, demographic shifts, and population growth.
