Talk:Tánaiste

message: I think the idea of a (legally or constitutionally) designated successor to a Prime Minister in a Parliamentary System of government, is pretty rare- possibly unique to Ireland. I don't think it exists in other Westminster Model systems, nor more generally in other Parliamentary systems like the West German model systems or French/Eastern European Hybrid systems either? It is of course quite common for states to have a succession plan for replacing the Head of State, e.g. Monarchies just go down the family blood line, and republics normally have constitutionally mandated order of sucession too. (Presidents may or may not be the Head of Government of course). But an automatic back up to the Prime Minister is not usual.
The rationale presumably is that technically in Parliamentary Systems, the Monarch/ President is the personification of the state, so if the PM goes it's not too much of a problem in the short term, since the Monarch/President has back up powers and can appoint a new PM. Ireland though has seen fit to have a backstop other than the President.
So is there any research there about why Ireland opted to have a constitutional back up to the Taoiseach, some discussion on this would be interesting and I think add value to the article. {1:17 BST 1 April}  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.108.149.34 (talk) 00:25, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

message: A useful footnote gives the IPA pronunciation of the singular; but how is the plural, Tánaistithe, pronounced?  Suggestion: add the plural form to the existing footnote. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 15:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  I know IPA, but I don't know Irish, so I can't really help with the correct IPA.  I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will do so, though. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 17:56, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tánaistithe: pronunciation? 

message: According to an anonymous editor Tánaistithe is not standard Irish. Tánaistí is standard according to Niall Ó Dónaill's dictionary (standard dictionary for today's Irish). This checks out, see Vicipéid (The Irish language Wikipedia) at http://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teimpl%C3%A9ad:T%C3%A1naist%C3%AD_na_h%C3%89ireann. They are also other references on the web to support this. I've the article to reflect this. Snappy56 18:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Brian Lenihan.jpg

message: I removed all the non-free images per WP:NFCC and WP:NFLISTS, just like President of Ireland which had several non-free images and occasionally gets them added back. I'm pretty sure that Taoiseach suffers from the same problem. While some images have fair-use rationales for this use those rationales don't stand up to the scrutiny of the non-free policy. It is ok to use a non-free image of a deceased person in their own article but not elsewhere without justification and not in lists or list type articles. Yes it makes the table look less interesting but that's the way it is. You can always bring the issue up at Wikipedia:Non-free content review if you want. ww2censor (talk) 22:20, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

message: In Luxembourg, the job is called "Vice-Président du gouvernement" but in Wiki it's called Deputy Prime Minister. In the Netherlands, the job is called "Vicepremiers van Nederland" but in Wiki it's called Deputy Prime Minister. In Sweden, the job is called "statsministers ställföreträdare" but in Wiki it's called Deputy Prime Minister. In Ireland, the job is called Tánaiste but in Wiki it's not allowed to be translated in capitals as Deputy Prime Minister. Some think it that the title must be in lower case. Why?  Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:09, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Because its a description (or translation) of the office not the title of the office. The title is Tánaiste in both Irish and English, no English translation is ever used officially. It could also be translated as deputy head of government, which would not need capitals. This wording is used by the Department of the Taoiseach website . The articles you mention are about specific offices which have been translated to English, the relevant one is about the generic office is at Deputy prime minister (no caps on the prime minister part) and the first line reads: "A deputy prime minister or vice prime minister is, in some countries, a government minister who can take the position of acting prime minister when the prime minister is temporarily absent.", no capitals at all on 'deputy prime minister'. Also, remember that wikipedia is not a reliable source. Snappy (talk) 22:16, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

message: This is not a directly biographical article and so should not have WP Bio added. This is because it only describes the office position and so it only comes under BLPO (Biography of living people other).
Not using WP Bio on official office positions is also seen on (to name a few):
