Difficult to give proper account of the governments make up and the independents/others opposition or government TDs. Still have to try this with percentages.

View it better wider at Google Fusion Tables
Select the handles at either end of the bottom bar to zoom into a particular time period. Full Names for initialed parties below.
Luckily all the data I needed was presented in this wikipedia table, h/t to whoever contributed that info, User:Phil_Nolte? and User:Snappy.
This time series is much Better then ManyEyes Stack chart I blogged last night.
It positions the years properly,shows you the party numbers at the key points, you can select the governments, I like it Shows CnaG trailing off and then Fine Gael picking up the line a few years later. Like to have it shaded in and with percentages, I now have all the info and will make that later along with making a timeplot for more customization.
Ok now check out my TD Exhibit which I blogged about here.

Updated this with 1922 to 2007 figures. Made this to see if politics was diversifying or FF stranglehold on the country continues.
If you want to add the numbers for earlier years you can go ahead and enter them here
Info Government of Ireland
Oh heres the complete data I need, Dail Eireann election summary.
As always constantly trying to see which service does it better. That stack chart isn't very good, it doesn't display the years right,ie the length of the governments...,which mirror its makeup. Although i like that its shaded in and you can show percentage to keep the shape even as Dail numbers change. Im going to make Google Fusion Time Series, a Timeplot and Tableau Public version. I think Timeplot will do the job best but take longer. Come back later.
In response to my tweets was pointed to two other similar Dail Charts.
House A very well made java applet(made in 2006) which shows the make up of Dail since 1918, its shows a colored bar chart, government parties, majorities and seats loses and gains, which you can play in a slideshow.
and
guthanphobail.net An Irish language page with stats and charts back to 1982 and the latest referendums. Very detailed java charts showing counts and transfer of the all the candidates not just the winners.
Next the rate of change of tds over the years, that'll take some work...
Ok now check out my TD Exhibit which I blogged about here.

Reshuffle
Brian Cowen's Reshuffle Speech - Irish Times
Spokespeople
Just putting up my spokespersons spreadsheets making them more visible, if you see any mistakes, you can go straight the docs and edit them yourself, or leave a comment below.
irish political party issue spokespersons
Ministers
Minister full web page
Spokespeople
TD data
I have the spokespeople in this spreadsheet to run my TD exhibit off.
If TDs are to be seen as national politicians, then you should contact them on national issues, I know that you should also contact your local TD on national issues so the party can get an idea of where the issue is being raised, but usually the TD just says they'll pass it on to their issues spokesperson, so if you want a quicker response you can should email the spokesperson directly on your topic of interest as well.
shadow spokespeople

There's less of clear showing of cabinet positions in Ireland, but I think I have most of them right,(actually i made this 6months ago and its probably in need of an update) if it open the spreadsheets and change em.

I've been wanting to make a contact form site like contact.ie
Been meaning to try to make my own, probably with civcrm, I surprisingly hard to find a simple module to do this, plus I have found Drupal's backend horrible to use and all over the place.
