The 23rd Government of Ireland, the first government of the 27th Dáil, was a coalition of Fianna Fáil (with leader Albert Reynolds as Taoiseach) and the Labour Party (with leader Dick Spring as Tánaiste). It was the first time that these two parties were in government together, as traditionally Fine Gael was the coalition partner of the Labour Party. The 1992 general election had been held on 25 November 1992 and the 27th Dáil first met on 14 December 1992, while post-election negotiations between the parties were still ongoing. A new Taoiseach was not elected, and hence a new government not appointed, until 12 January 1993. The 27th Dáil lasted until 1997, but its first government fell in 1994 after the breakdown of relations between the two parties. It was succeeded by the 24th Government, a coalition of Labour with Fine Gael under John Bruton and Democratic Left under Proinsias De Rossa, with Spring remaining as Tánaiste under Bruton as Taoiseach. This is the only time an Irish government has fallen without precipitating a general election.〔There have been occasions when a single-party caretaker government has existed for a few weeks prior to the dissolution of the Dáil, after another party left a coalition: in 1987, 1992–3, and 2011.〕 ==Ministers== {| class="wikitable" |- !Office !Name !Term !colspan="2"|Party |- |Taoiseach |Albert Reynolds |1993–94 ! style="background-color: " | |Fianna Fáil |- |Tánaiste |rowspan=2|Dick Spring〔On 17 November 1994 the Labour Party ministers resigned from the government and their portfolios were reassigned to Fianna Fáil ministers.〕 |rowspan=2|1993–94 ! rowspan=2 style="background-color: " | |rowspan=2|Labour Party |- |Minister for Foreign Affairs |- |Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry〔On 21 January 1993 the Department of Agriculture and Food was renamed as the Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry.〕 |Joe Walsh |1993–94 ! style="background-color: " | |Fianna Fáil |- |Minister for Defence |rowspan=2|David Andrews |rowspan=2|1993–94 ! rowspan=2 style="background-color: " | |rowspan=2|Fianna Fáil |- |Minister for the Marine |- |Minister for Education |Niamh Bhreathnach〔 |1993–94 ! style="background-color: " | |Labour Party |- |Minister for Energy |Brian Cowen |1993 ! style="background-color: " | |Fianna Fáil |- |Minister for the Environment |Michael Smith |1993–94 ! style="background-color: " | |Fianna Fáil |- |Minister for Finance |rowspan=2|Bertie Ahern |1993–94 ! rowspan=2 style="background-color: " | |rowspan=2|Fianna Fáil |- |Minister for Industry and Commerce〔On 21 January 1993 the Department of Industry and Commerce was renamed as the Department of Enterprise and Employment.〕 |1993 |- |Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht〔On 21 January 1993 the Department of the Gaeltacht was renamed as the Department of Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht.〕 |Michael D.
