- Requires Taoiseach to nominate successors to Ministers and Ministers of State who lose Oireachtas membership after general elections within six weeks.
- Successor Ministers need Dáil approval before appointment; successor Ministers of State appointed by sitting Government, consistent with 1977 Act procedures.
- Amends 1977 Act so Ministers of State appointments end when successor appointed, not just when Taoiseach's successor takes office.
