The Fine Gael leader appoints a team of TDs and Senators to speak for the party on different issues.
When Fine Gael was in opposition, the front bench areas of responsibility broadly corresponded to those of Government ministers.
Fine Gael has been in Government since March 2011 and accordingly their front bench consists of the ministerial officeholders.
In 2020 a number of non-ministerial office holders were appointed as spokespeople for policy areas where Fine Gael does not have a minister.
On 10 April 2024, the government on the nomination of the Taoiseach appointed 7 further Fine Gael ministers of state.
