Abandonment of The Innovation
However the concept of Extern Ministers never took off. While a few isolated Extern Ministers were appointed in the early years of the Free State, they were in reality part of the Cumann na nGaedheal government rather than independent of it. Nor were they chosen from outside the Dáil but were TDs. By 1927 the idea of having Extern Ministers was quietly dropped. The Constitution (Amendment No. 15) Act, 1929 increased the maximum size of the Executive Council from seven to twelve. Thereafter, since twelve was the maximum total number of Ministers, there was no point in a TD being an Extern Minister rather than a member of the Executive Council.

“Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.”
—Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
