Amharc ar fhreagraA revised Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies was introduced by Government in 2016. In order to ensure compliance with the revised Code, both the Technological Higher Education Association (THEA) and the Irish Universities Association (IUA) engaged with its membership in the development of revised Governance Codes for both the Institutes of Technology and the Universities.
Following engagement and agreement by their respective membership cohorts, the Code of Governance of Institutes of Technology was published by the THEA in 2018 and the Code of Governance of Irish Universities was published by the IUA in 2019. These Codes provide a framework for their respective members for the application of best practice of corporate governance.
