IoD questions political parties' proposals on reform of State board appointments and calls for independent appointments committee

IoD questions political parties' proposals on reform of State board appointments and calls for independent appointments committee: "“We need real commitment to reforming the process and putting in place long term solutions that will deliver transparency, accountability and real change in the system. If future Governments want to avoid charges of cronyism, cross-directorships and conflicts of interest with regard to board appointees, then introducing a fully transparent process, independent of Government and the political system, is the only way to do that,” said Maura Quinn, Chief Executive, Institute of Directors in Ireland."
