And Bertie Ahern has been the Taoiseach since 1997

******I just have to comment to the answerer below, that the former Taoisigh are not in reverse order as he claims and his facts are wrong.

Richard Bruton, John Bruton's brother, served on the Fine Gael Front Bench along with other posts, but has never served as Taoiseach. (SOURCE: http://www.richardbruton.net/)******...
