Everything about Minister Of State Ireland totally explained

A Minister of State, in the Republic of Ireland, is a 'junior minister', and is of non-cabinet rank, attached to one or more Departments of State of the Government of Ireland. Unlike other 'cabinet ministers' or 'government ministers' who are appointed by the President of Ireland on the advice of the Taoiseach, with the prior nomination of Dáil Éireann, Ministers of State are appointed by the cabinet, on nomination of the Taoiseach. The title Minister of State is dissimilar and its role is less than that of a Secretary of State in the Government of the United Kingdom.
   The post of Minister of State was created by an Act of the Oireachtas in 1977 and commenced in 1978, and under the Act a Minister of State maybe delegated a power or duty of the Minister of the Government they support. The position was created to replace the post of Parliamentary Secretary, the junior rank of ministers which had existed from 1924 until 1978. In the original act of 1977 the number of Ministers of State was limited to 10, but in 1980 this was raised to 15, and in 1995 it was raised to 17, and in 2007 it was raised to its present limit of 20.
