Junior Minister Pat Breen

YESTERDAY we gave you a little glimpse into the glamorous life of a Councillor and their favourite Christmas traditions.

Now it’s the turn of Junior Minister Pat Breen, or to give him his full title; Minister of State for Trade, Employment, Business, EU Digital Single Market and Data Protection (phew!).

We sent Pat a list of Chrimbo questions and apart from his woeful taste in Christmas songs, he didn’t disappoint.
