I propose to merge Minister for the Public Service into this page, in the form previously done boldly but reverted. While the responsibilities have little in common, it is our practice here to list ministers according to the formal legal successors, even when this results in odd outcomes, such as the Minister for Economic Planning becoming the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, while the Minister for the Gaeltacht becomes the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. The legislation and statutory instruments whereby the old Department of Transport established in 1959 was abolished, and the Department of the Public Service became the Department of Tourism and Transport are linked at Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. This is also explained in part by Charles Haughey in the debate on the nomination of members of the government on 10 March 1987. —Iveagh Gardens (talk) 17:16, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

This is also within the Appendices of Politics in the Republic of Ireland, ed. by Coakley and Gallagher. I have the fifth edition, published in 2010, at p. 455 it shows the transformation of the Department of the Public Service up to the Department of Transport, as it was at the time, now the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. I can't see why this shouldn't follow the pattern and rules we've used for other departments, but I'm happy to wait the customary week of the planning permission site notice before proceeding with the merger. –Iveagh Gardens (talk) 17:34, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
