There are multiple boards and bodies that advise the Government and make recommendations that are, de-facto, binding on the State but the membership of those boards is far from transparent.
Who are the members of the Commission for Taxation and Welfare? Google doesn't tell me.
Where are the biographies of the members of the Labour Court and how are they appointed? Their names are listed on the Labour Courts website but a Google search gives very little information other than a note saying that results have been removed on data protection grounds.
I'm sure other posters can add to the list.
Is it appropriate that hundreds of million in State spending should be allocated and significant policy decisions should be made by bodies with no public accountability and very limited visibility?
