Sorry to nitpick and not to detract from the other organisations you mention, but the CAI is not a quango of any kind. They're an independent, non-government body. They may receive some form of grant from the State (I'm assuming, I don't actually know), but I don't think we could class their employees as public servants in the same way as emplolyees of quangos are classed.
You make good point and if I'm wrong, I without question, stand corrected.
Although they are a non-government body, I do believe they receive state funding.
With that the case, they would indeed be doing some of the same jobs as the other agency.
However again, on that one alone I'll admit you could indeed be right and I withdraw its name from possibles till further clarification.
I hope that's ok .0 -

Not to mention that fact that Third Level Institutes themselves are Quangos.
I know nothing about the work of the Mushroom Taskforce. They have a funny name, but perhaps they have done some invaluable research on the mushroom industry in Ireland at little cost to the exchequer? Unless I know that I am not going to say it should be abolished.
Well, yes, it would probably be a bit ambitious to say it would cover the cost of everyone's education. But it does irk me a bit that fees will be re-introduced (among other cut-backs) while the tax payer funds these quangos.
And third-level institutes may be quangos, but at least we can see their value, unlike the Mushroom Taskforce!

It'll do I guess. I'll have to set up a committe to review your application for withdrawal and I'll revert in due course with the Authority's decision. I presume you've remembered to submit the form in triplicate with the current spelling of the decision maker's surname. If not, it will be rejected out of hand!

Damn those triplicate forms! :mad:0 -

After they have gone and the QUANGO is no more, sure we'll have more money but how will we put holes in solid surfaces, how will we dig up the roads?
We can rely on the trolls.
They like digging graves for themselves! :rolleyes:
