Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 October 2015
291. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the policy around appointments to the Top Level Appointments Committee in cases where persons have complaints against them outstanding at the time an appointment is made. [36245/15]
View answerThe membership of the Top Level Appointments Committee (TLAC) is appointed by the Taoiseach. The Taoiseach in making such appointments consults with me in my role as Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. TLAC operates strictly in accordance with the principles of merit, consistency, accountability, probity, best practice and professional confidentiality. In this context all appointments to TLAC are made on the basis that a person appointed can fully discharge their responsibilities as a member of TLAC in a manner fully consistent with these key principles.
