[edit] Title

I am going to move this page to Minister of Home Affairs (Northern Ireland) as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (government departments and ministers) also the current title only gets 154 google hits and many of them are from UK legislation which most likely uses the title to differentiate from the Home Secretary --Barryob (Contribs) (Talk) 21:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

The official sources tend to go with Minister of Home Affairs for Northern Ireland, but Minister of Home Affairs (Northern Ireland) is more common in everyday usage. I'm not too concerned either way, but all the articles on ministerial posts really should use the same form. Warofdreams talk 04:32, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

The new form is much better.Traditional unionist (talk) 12:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
