    Another good argument to scrap this useless quango.

    No accountability, no consequences...

    Nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care...

    Happens with all the quangos, unfortunately. I'd be in favour of making 80% attendance compulsory, and being dismissed and barred from others if you can't maintain that attendance.

    By the by - another good article that I think shows a Dublin Inquirer subscription is a good investment.

    Expenses and attendance allowances is a racket that has been going on for years.

    Examples:

    1. When he was Minister for Justice, John O'Donoghue (Kerry T.D.) appointed several of his FF cronies from counties Cork and Kerry to the visiting committe of Loughan House, an open prison in Co. Cavan. People with FF connections from Leinster were appointed to the visiting committee of Cork prison and... you get the idea.

    2. On one occasion when he was a member of Kerry Co. Council, Michael Healy-Rae was selected as a delegate to a conference being held somewhere in the north-west. He drove up from Kerry, signed the register, then got into in his car and drove straight back to Kerry. It might have been the famous conference on high-rise urban development which was held in Manorhamilton (Co. Leitrim!) a few years back and which was attended by multiple county councillors, most of them farmers, publicans and auctioneers from rural parts of the country.
