Minister to move on fixed term for HSI chairman
As revealed in last Monday’s Irish Examiner, Mr Varadkar considers it a breach of governance, while his spokesperson also described the fact HSI was not set up as a statutory body enacted by legislation as “unusual”, to say the least.
“In line with best practice in corporate governance, it is appropriate that a chairperson’s term of office would have an expiry date. The Department is examining the matter with a view to ensuring that suitable governance procedures are put in place in this regard.”
