SF slams Coalition for ‘FF-style cronyism’

Sinn Féin said the Government has engaged in the “same old tired politics” of its predecessors, after the Irish Examiner revealed the majority of positions were being filled by Ministers without being advertised.
This is despite promises by the Taoiseach Enda Kenny after entering office in March 2011 that vacancies on the boards of state-funded bodies would be advertised to help attract new talent and end cronyism.
