The advent of the mini budget today in the south has also rung the death knell for up to 5 junior ministerial posts. 20 ministers will be reduced to 15 later this month. The southern press report that the exchequer will save up to €3 million euros. Seriously, €3million, thats all. As they say here, it wouldn’t fill a gap in your tooth never mind polyfil another fissure in the celtic leopard, or whatever the hell it is called nowadays.
