Two TDs have applied to the Supreme Court to hear appeals over the rejection of their legal challenges to the attendance of super junior ministers at meetings of Government. The TDs brought separate but similar challenges, arguing article 28 of Bunreacht na hÉireann limits the number of government members to 15 and the attendance of super junior ministers at Cabinet meetings goes against this. Ministers of State attending Cabinet – or super junior ministers – are appointed by the Government on the nomination of the Taoiseach.

Both appellants have also filed appeals with the Court of Appeal, but those will only proceed before that court if the Supreme Court refuses to hear a leapfrog appeal.
