- Published: 04 April 2010
MARY Coughlan has been voted the least impressive "business" minister in this government, according to nearly 56 per cent of the respondents to the Sunday Independent Business Leaders Survey 2010.
The poll was sent out before the reshuffle which saw Coughlan's disastrous term as Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment end, as the department was broken up and she was moved to be Minister of Education and Skills.
Environment Minister John Gormley was considered the least impressive "business" minister by almost 21 per cent of respondents, with Transport Minister Noel Dempsey picking up over 11 per cent of the vote, well ahead of Finance Minister Brian Lenihan (7.2 per cent) and Communications and Natural Resources Minister Eamon Ryan (5.2 per cent).
