I 1981 bhí an Taoiseach I mbaol pholaitiúil mar gur lainseáil sé é féin in olltoghchán ag déanamh an rud a mbeadh an rialtas ag déanamh in ionad gealltanas chuig an phobal.
I 2009 tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh an tAire don ghnóthaí sóisialta ag smaoineamh ar obair do trí lá in ionad daoine á mbriseadh as a bpost.
